Was just looking at them on Google Street view, and I agree would be a shame to lose them, especially when it appears that the nondescript retail buildings on the corner of Dearborn and Superior are going to be spared. Ugh.
Also, the plans indicate that the 1011' tower will have 76 stories, which seems rather low to me. Unless they plan on having a crazy soaring lobby, or very high ceiling mechanical floors at the top/decorative crown, that works out to 13.3' per floor. Office buildings typically max out at about 12' per floor, residential and hotels are typically lower than that. Anyone have any thoughts?
