A 1/2.
I look at this as a point of pride -- (a) Chicago was so early to the supertall game that these were probably considered generous (or at least pushing the limit financially or engineeringwise), and (b) in most other cities, buildings of 60+ stories are office-only or super luxury, whereas in Chicago today you can have 60-story residentials geared to middle-class and/or young professionals just wanting good urban housing without it having to be something gold plated.

C 1/2.
And not to mention is a rental by Loewenberg/Magellan, one among a certain tier of developers who commonly skimp on residential ceiling heights.
