yeah, there are a fair number of office buildings and hotels out by ORD in rosemont, but given the proximity to the airport's runway approach paths, i don't think any of them reach over 10 floors high, not really much of a "skyline" to speak of.
and most of it is terrible post-war planning garbage -- large surface lots, giant parking garages, 6 lane streets, an obnoxiously humongous expressway interchange smack dab in the middle of it, and other pedestrian hostile infrastructure (ie. the built environment is not at all cohesive as one finds with a traditional skyline).

yeah, there are a half-dozen newish highrises missing in that evanston shot.
