CHICAGO | St. Regis Chicago (Vista) | 1,191 FT | 101 FLOORS

So this could give us a good look at the building right? Hope we get some concrete news and renders.

^^Looks like a retrofit for the pin hangers.

With China and the Middle East going buck-nuts building all these tall buildings, would Wanda Vista even be in the top 50 tallest at the time of its anticipated completion?

Probably not, but hopefully Chicago will pull off something taller sooner or later. This plus the taller Wolf Point tower are still going to make a nice dent in the skyline though, plus whatever goes at the Spire site (hopefully).

1. No

2. Why does it matter?

Some people find it to be interesting. That's why Wikipedia and Emporis and other sources out there document height and establish comparative data. Height and comparisons are at times discussed on these skyscraper forums.

SOLD OUT

Hang on, wouldn't that be for the sales meeting, and not the tower itself?

[wierdaaron]

^Yes.

Arietta pitching for the Cubs, the GOP slug fest on CNN and hopefully new building renders on SCP. My evening is all set.

Still good to see a full ballroom dedicated to selling condos sold out.

I went to the presentation tonight for the Vista Residences.

150 Hotel Rooms

406 Condominiums

Public sales will begin October 1st.

They still want to break ground sometime Summer 2016 with delivery in 2020.

They should be going before plan commission October or November, but probably the former.

Jeanne Gang also told me that Solstice on the Park isn't dead. We could see movement on that one sometime in 2016 as well. It'll probably be apartments.

Here's a video of the video that played this evening...

Thank BVic for going to another meeting.

Looks a lot more blue

It will be very interesting to see how well this sells. This is the first megaproject with international pull since the Chicago Spire was being proposed and the first since the recession ended. International markets are far less appealing now than they were back then, especially in China which is where this will have the biggest draw. It's a perfect storm for this to really take off. If so, I hope it convinces Magellen, much like how the success of Aqua did, to go even bigger and bolder at their most prime location - the northeast corner along lakeshore drive.

Thanks for recap and video, bvic!

Breaking ground next summer sounds great to me, let's hope the pre-sales allow that to happen.

I am liking this building more every day....!

The Model!!!
