Wow, gorgeous building. I love the cantilevered floors on what appears to be the southwest corner of the building.
It looks like 160 N Halsted will be preserved (handsome 3 story brick walk up) as well as all the buildings along Randolph, but looks like 170-172 N Halsted is going to have a date with the wrecking ball unfortunately.
This building has a huge footprint; I fear that the nice variety of human scaled buildings is going away in that part of town at a rapid pace. I hope enough are preserved to keep the street level interesting.
