Seems to look good at the beginning of the day, too.

Yeah, I think it looks solid so far-- I'm starting to think that One Chicago will be the tower people compare this one to. Ultra-sleek, tall and thin, glassy, purely vertical, lots of setbacks.

And similar to how One Chicago broke up the "beige barrier" over there, 400 LSD's glass stands out sharply against its immediate neighbors, most of which are brown brick, tan concrete/limestone, or black steel. It's not as drastic of a contrast as One Chi, and the skyline presence won't be as visible, but architecturally they're pretty comparable. Very interested to see how they handle the mech floors and cladding on the setback floors.

This looks like a beautiful photo, but I'm only seeing a teeny-tiny low-res version! Could you post it in a higher resolution pls? Thanks!!

Roughly how many more floors does this one have to go?

2PRUROCKS! · #**2987** Posted **Oct 22, 2025, 12:29 PM**

I think it is around 51 stories now so about 22 more to go.

I thought the terraced setbacks were on the lakeside?

Taken Oct 19th. I think I took this from River Point. This will definitely be visible from much of the riverwalk!

kolchak · #**2991** Posted **Oct 25, 2025, 5:20 AM**

Maybe I missed updated renderings but I thought those setbacks were split and staggered, no?

^ good pics!!

Here's some I took last night from around Milton Lee Olive Park:

I believe the first two staggered setbacks on the east side are complete.

Cress3803 · #**2994** Posted **Oct 27, 2025, 5:52 PM**

The strong vertical lines are helping to paper over some other issues IMO.. looking better with more height

munchymunch · #**2995** Posted **Oct 28, 2025, 3:13 AM**

Those setbacks are staggered in the front...

Making good progress!

cloudbod · #**2999** Posted **Nov 13, 2025, 4:23 PM**

Walked by last night-- they've installed some glass on the western face of the mech floor. I was worried there'd be a vent here!

dreamy-developer · #**3000** Posted **Nov 13, 2025, 9:23 PM**

In that last pic, you can really start to see this take shape now! Two full setbacks and more to come
