New tower would be among (Evanston's) tallest

Plans for a new high-rise building in the 600 block of Davis street call for creating one of the tallest structures in Evanston.
The developer's proposal to the city indicates that at a total of 280 feet, including the mechanical penthouse, the new mixed-use retail and rental apartment building would be slightly shorter than the Chase Bank tower at 1603 Orrington and the Sherman Plaza condo development.
Other sources list the Chase Bank tower as 280 feet tall and the Sherman Plaza building as 276 feet tall, but those measurements typically exclude the mechanical penthouse.

a rendering of the proposed building is available at the link above. tower on parking podium. not horrible, but not that great either. at least it's got a good bit of ground floor street-facing retail.
i don't like that a curb cut for the drive-up banking will remain, but at least it's being drastically reduced, so that's something, i guess.
