I think that towers with green space are wholly appropriate when they are close to (or in this case, right on) the river. I would have much more of a problem with this if it were at like, LaSalle and Madison or some other core intersection. The river is an INCREDIBLE asset, take it from someone who has lived in many land locked cities, and it should be cultivated, IMHO, in a unique way. Chicago has, and will continue to have and develop, wall to wall urbanity. I think it's ok to ratchet that credo down just a bit when it comes to the river. Urbs in horto.
