Thanks Saber!

So the pool is going to be the lower section that is currently being built up with steel and concrete?

Thanks!

You can see the crane poppin into the skyline from my rooftop deck in Logan Square. I take all sorts of pictures but it is hard to compare you pros out there!

The railings still need to prove themselves, but if they convert me to liking them as the painted concrete has, we are all in for a great treat.

It'll be interesting to see how this building ages. You have the AON Center right next door, which I think, has aged perfectly into the fabric of the city. I for one am not too fond of the architecture in that area to begin with, with exception to AON, however as it stands now I like what I'm seeing with the Aqua. To me it adds some personality to the area.

I am deeply in love with this building but you gotta wonder if water is included in the rent.

This tower is fan-friggin-tastic. I can't wait to see it complete and see it in person on my next Chicago trip.
