Curious to see a more detailed rendering. This seems to follow a very common Chicago form these days, with a 50-100ft parking podium then a slender tower with balconies. The article suggests some metal columns with glass curtainwall, so maybe we'll get something in the vein of Trump (the 20th floor setback certainly harkens to it). The screen and spire on top are curious, could be elegant or could just be tacky like those atrocious spires on Grand Plaza.

As spoiled as we are in Chicago, I still will gladly take another 787 footer why not add just 13 more feet to the spire for a round 800?
