Just curious how come there isnt so many of the taller thinner residential variety of buildings in Chicago? I mean i know of Park tower and Elysian (waldorf) but you dont see many buildings over 500ft that have the multiple setback or wedding cake design style that you see in NYC apt/condos. You typically see many Chicago residential buildings as blocky or solid buildings all the way up?..actually many are seeming to look much alike each other..any reason for this weather its cost related or just an architecture style that is preferred in city? ....Don't get me wrong i know there is some great residential like marina city, legacy , lake point,etc
