I'm going to speak out here, and I am prepared to be crucified, but... I honestly in my gut feel like this is for the best. I know the building was sexy, but I always felt like there was something off about it, and it wasn't just the height. And the fact that Hines refused to combine the office and the hotel annex into a taller tower was just irritating.
For one reason or another it just didn't do it for me. It didn't feel Chicago to me and I'm fairly confident in my opinion that it did the site no justice. I think if we wait it out, we can get something better.
