I was there the other day.

Thanks for that River North shot Solar. I was wondering how things were shaping up from that angle.
The glass is a really light color there. It'll form an interesting contrasting pair with IBM.

geesh all these photos are great.

to answer an earlier question, I do think it will take on iconic status because of its position.
also because of its design, which includes so many nods to its neighbors in terms of setbacks and reflectivity.

but would CS take some of the shine off it? sure..

Looks pretty good next to the other buildings.

i was coming into the city from the northside on the kennedy expressway and noticed poking out of the skyline anyone got a picture of that angle

It's already such a huge building. I wonder how many sq feet it is currently

...........today's Tribune said that the hotel would open this December.

I have photos to offer this forum taken by JR. We conversated 3-4 weeks ago about these images, but because of a family emergency and getting back to work I'd been unable to edit and upload the photos until now. Because of the number of images I will upload these in groups. If you have any questions about the photos, please refer them to JR. My only roll in this was minor editing and uploading.

ENJOY EVERYONE!!!

Looks about 1/3rd the way up. This is the most photagenic tower in possibly the most photogenic spot in the city. Thats a good match. It looks so good!

honte · #70 Posted **Apr 16, 2007, 5:35 PM**

Wow, thanks JuniorReb and BVictor.

Complex01 · #71 Posted **Apr 16, 2007, 9:10 PM**

I really love how it changes color, depending on the angle, and what not. Its almost not even the same building. What great shots...

mcdonnell77 · #72 Posted **Apr 16, 2007, 9:34 PM**

Yeh its really coming along well, i like the way that they are keeping up with the facade just the the SWFC.

As the only view I have of TTC is this forum and the TribCam, did my eyes deceive me or are we starting to move up from the transfer floor already? Coulda swore I saw it this evening on the cam.

I actually think the reflection off TTC provides ambient light to parts of Wabash. The nearby blocks will save on their electric bills.

Ahhh! I can't wait, just four more months and I'll be waking up to that view (except 20 stories higher) every morning! Gorgeous!

Ghost · #77 Posted **Apr 18, 2007, 7:37 PM**

Great update BVictor1! Stunning pictures!

tennis1400 · #78 Posted **Apr 18, 2007, 11:17 PM**

Its almost like a giant version of those mirrors they have in Battery Park City in New York. Maybe this could be another way to sway the NIMBYS to support a project!

nomarandlee · #79 Posted **Apr 18, 2007, 11:36 PM**

wow, the glass is look especially beautiful yesterday.

Stephenapolis · #80 Posted **Apr 18, 2007, 11:40 PM**

I think the reflection helps the overall area of this tower. Most buildings would not be nearly this reflective. So they would dampen the light and make the area even darker. This one brings the sunlight to the street.
