I liked the building before.

I'd be totally fine with the recladding if:
1) it entailed the entire building
2) it didn't have the very visible inset balconies.

I'd even be willing to give a little on #2. Hey, they gotta sell units... but of course somehow Smith and Calatrava managed to design high-end units without balconies, so it's possible.

The lack of #1 emphatically ruins it. This is being turned into a total eyesore, and a highly visible one on one of Chicago's postcard skyline views.

Hey, at least Goettsch apparently of rid of the ridiculous pompadour that capped the mechanical penthouse in their earlier renderings.
