Don't think you're right here....we'll get an actual height attached to this rendering soon enough, but River East Center is tallest in South Streeterville at around 645' or so. I bet this comes out in the 730-750', so it will definitely rise everything else and be a sad focal point of this part of the skyline......

In this neighborhood, at least we have 545 N McClurg and Optima II right around te corner to look forward to.........further north, we have the NW's biomedical research building, the design of which is quite nice - I only wish it were going up all at once instead of phased (Phase II is quite tall - although the design is hardly 'final' at this point.....to me the initial renderings made it look to be well over 700'.....perhaps even closer to 800' than 700'......).....
