^ Sorry, trying not to be...

It's like they're teasing us about the crown. I'm waiting with bated breath as to whether they will achieve some of the initial render's crown's glory. When, already..?

Now that the flloors are being prepared for occupancy, the facade looks lighter, especially under that sun exposure.

^ More than any modern high-rise in the city, the appearance of 300 will be affected by its tenants' buildouts. Hopefully this will be interesting and not become an unsightly hodgepodge.

Does anyone know whether any tenants other than K&E are currently constructing their interiors?

....it looks like 300 and TT are going to top out at about the same time.....

^ Looks like a hybrid of an SOM project from 1960 and MidContinental Plaza (now Park Michigan - RIP).

^^^ I was just thinking that it looked like MidContinental before you said that. I'm with you, this one disappoints. It's not a disaster but it just didn't come out like I hoped.

honte · #**1954** Posted **Oct 14, 2008, 4:23 AM**

^ Very interesting. Welcome to the forum by the way.

The curious thing is, I love both MCP and the SOM projects from that era, so that wasn't meant to be a critique, by the way.

Alliance · #**1955** Posted **Oct 14, 2008, 4:39 AM**

At least its vertical and not oppressive, which is MUCH more than I can say for (a disaster like) MCP.

As promissed here are some more shots from my ChicagoLine Cruise 10/9 for 300 NL this time:

Enjoy

This building really doesn't have the sort of breathless verticality that was present in the renders. But I'm reserving final judgment until the fins are installed.

Alliance · #**1958** Posted **Oct 15, 2008, 3:36 PM**

I don't think fins could salvage that at this point.

honte · #**1959** Posted **Oct 15, 2008, 3:47 PM**

^ Maybe they could drape very thin and shiny "now leasing" signs down the facade?

Alliance · #**1960** Posted **Oct 15, 2008, 3:55 PM**

lmao. As long as they were like red or something very flashy.
