Thanks for the close up. Those bracings look finished and lighter than I was seeing in other photos.

I'm assuming that's the terrace on the lowest section.

Are the lava lamp looking glass panels along the front amenity floors going all the way down to upper wacker or are they going to be straight rectangular torwards the bottom below the framing that already have installed.

Didn't see these posted here. A bit older, but I love the splash of color. God I want to drink from that lake. That's the real Poland Springs.

Vista goes well with the lake. The green Vista, with the smoke trail coming from it, in celebration of Chicago's going green campaign.

More red buildings would look cool. IDK the name of that red building below (might be the light, the dark reddish hue I'd imagine), but it looks good, breaks up all the white and black.

Great find, Chris.

Big Red, at 333 S Wabash, was known around here as the CNA Building until CNA moved to a new trophy tower in the loop. Big Red got a very expensive rehab thanks to their new anchor tenant, Northern Trust.

She does a fantastic job at breaking up the skyline with a splash of color.

The above posted "new renderings(?)" are ridiculously bad and are related to the Vista tower by an imagined geographical delusion only.

They are a waste of time.

Purpose is to show potential buyers what the amenity level will look like

Well these "new" renderings make it look like the render studio didn't know what the building looks like. I hope they were cheap.

Yeah, I imagine they are from the landscaping team, whoever is handling the outdoor decor. No point in spending any money for accurate architectural depictions, just needed something to show the people who need a visual what the terrace will look like.

Literally the entire Vista instagram is trash, but hey I'm fascinated by it because I love this building.

Those are some cool public spaces regardless of the cheap quality renderings.

Chris always does a good job at finding good photos from great photographers. Cheers
