^Ha, that has me scratching my head as well. BVic please clarify! You likely meant shorter twin to Sears, but the greedy kid in me is imagining a 1,300' "twin" to this one, with identical proportions, anchoring the other half of this Michigan/Roosevelt corner.

EDIT: SWEET FANCY MOSES

Damn! Love the way it walks up away from the lake. And basically calls out for something on the west to rise up and keep it company.
And I love how it makes OMP look small.

Mother of pearl

Well that was pretty unexpected (but in a good way). Hopefully the other tower breaks 1000'?

aaron38 · #7 Posted **Sep 23, 2015, 1:10 AM**

So if East is 829', West is about 950'?

Steely Dan · #8 Posted **Sep 23, 2015, 1:15 AM**

HOLY SWEET FLYING FUCK!

829' and 950' looks about right.

Righteous!

Damn I rarely comment as well but just had to say wow classic Chicago right there bravo!

KevinFromTexas · #10 Posted **Sep 23, 2015, 1:23 AM**

Very nice. I'm not really sure it needs a spire actually. I was going to say it would be nice if it were more like 950 to 1,000 feet, but then I when I learned where it would be on the skyline, I realized it would be a spire. This should be a neat one to watch.

You know, the design actually reminds me of the old residential midrises along Central Park and in Midtown with all the setbacks.

EDIT: Well, now it REALLY looks like some of the old buildings along Central Park. haha Man, this is great. What a sweet development.

aaron38 · #11 Posted **Sep 23, 2015, 1:25 AM**

So are those sky lobies, up at the level of OMPW's roof? Amenity floors? Sweet party lounges?

And finally, buildings that will really dominate as seen from Soldier Field during bears games.

WHAAAATTTTT

This is so Chicago. If this and Wanda Vista go up at the same time, or even close to it, I'll just be done.

LouisVanDerWright · #13 Posted **Sep 23, 2015, 1:34 AM**

I know I just posted, but this is the best thing since the Chicago Spire was announced. I give it four out of four six pointed stars on a Chicago flag.

Completely agree.

I got to say it, this is better then Wanda. Sorry Jeanne.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this design pay homage to Burnham's vision of Chicago with designs that consisted of identical towers? At least I thought I heard this somewhere.

Domer2019 · #16 Posted **Sep 23, 2015, 1:36 AM**

Sooo... we're calling this one building, right?

A two-tower Wanda Vista?

Phase 1 is the building at Indiana and Roosevelt. Phase 2 is the building at Michigan and Roosevelt. Phase 3 is to build up to 100 townhouses surrounding a new public park at 13th and Indiana.

They said that this is all covered under the existing PD, however they need design approval because they are moving units around between the 3 building sites. I am pretty sure that they said that Phase 1 has received the design approval.

~690 parking spaces, BTW - and nobody was happy with that amount.

The address used this evening was 113 East Roosevelt Road.

Vinoly

This tower will be 100& rental

mentioned the stepping of the sears tower

terraces/some are public and some are private

in existing planned development

phase 2 would probably be for sale units

Phase one will have 792 units
Phase two will have 648 units
Phase three will have 100 units (townhouses surrounding a park where the old Museum Park sales center used to be)

24 months of construction

retail component 9,000 before and 12,500 now…
