Slightly updated rendering from Steelblue

Nice!

Glad the got rid of that crown but this looks less dynamic and soaring than the original, and the homage to Sears doesn't quite fit anymore.

I think I count 9 new high rises in that photo there, Solar (depending on one's definition of new of course). Tremendous, and the cycle isn't over yet! What a dramatic transformation the South Loop has made since 2005 (making that number way higher if those dating back to that year count as new too)

Looks like they are doing lighting all the way up the front. Not sure what I think about that.

Where are you seeing that?

Anyway, I think this angle just isn't the best for the rendering. The tower looks better when more of it can be seen, but the top here is kind of cut off awkwardly due to how it goes up and in near the "crown"

In the rendering it looks like every horizontal line is lit up. They are all significantly brighter than the columns.

Does anyone know what the rent will be for various units? I'd assume it's a bit pricy given the amenities. This will be entirely rental units, right?

Yep, all rental

Dear God I hate that view-blocking building (BCBS, that is)

Vexxed is that you in the last shot hovering over Nema once again trying to best us all?

PittsburghPA · #15 Posted **Oct 19, 2018, 12:37 AM**

Does BCBS have an observation deck?

Edit: I just realized that was probably for Open House Chicago

Yeah, I made the rounds on Saturday. I have the full photo thread in My City Photos. The view of the South Loop is a wild scene compared to 10 years ago.

Love how those 3 U/C buildings fill in some of the gaps in the skyline from these angles

Woo-hoo new peak
