Proportions, I'd say.

Looks like iRobot won't be that far off if things keep going like this. Also, I just noted that they got the MoMa Tower in NYC in there, even though this was made damned near 20 years ago on the far right lol

Was driving in to McCormick on friday from I55 in the morning about 930am, the way the sun was hitting the top of Vista the entire top was a bright shinny gold. It was a sight to behold...couldn't stop for a pic though without crashing.

Fantastic aerial photo. So many new buildings around the Western stop. I walked around that area the other day down Milwaukee and there's so many new buildings that the area was almost unrecognizable from a few years ago.

Will most of this be covered in glass by end of September? Also, this is about 5-6 floors from being topped out..?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was covered even sooner, but that should be a good guess. I honestly think August is a fair estimate since way more than half is covered if we are talking about square footage + good weather is here to stay for the foreseeable future

Two observations:

1. The color of this building often matches the lake's "mood". Today the green to blue color variant of the facade was perfectly matched to the green to blue transition from shallows to open lake.


2. They have been installing some Louvered facade on the mechanical levels of the South facade. Looks really slick.
