Taken yesterday (10/19) from the 67th floor of the Sears/Willis Tower, which was open to the public this weekend as part of Chicago Open House.

I was wondering this as well. What does the south-facing amenities deck, etc. look like?

This morning.
The second set of three windows that make the visual connection of the top and bottom halves looks off to me. Are they put in wrong or is that meant to be?

This afternoon

That window does look really off. I think that one was meant to go in one space to its right...

^ Indeed; comparing the photos to the rendering, they are supposed to fill in 1 more bay's worth of glazing on those two levels (or on that extra-tall transfer floor, if that's what it is). The snakey cutout on the facade won't flow nicely otherwise.

(Should we call and tell them? I know - let's have harryc deliver a letter to them, since he's walking around the site all the time with the workers anyway .. ;-) )

I read in Crain's that this could top out sometime this week. Pretty cool, and they're pretty far along with the glass it looks like (though some of the hardest glass work looks like it's yet to be done). When is the building supposed to open again? Summer or Fall of 2014?

Love Chicago!

Not thrilled about how the vertical cut out doesn't line up with the horizontal one like it does in the renders.

jcchii · #**1159** Posted **Oct 30, 2013, 10:37 PM**

all in all this is a fine outcome for what was once a true disaster

If you're referring to this from JMT's photo

The window was installed in the wrong location - it needs to be moved over to the right to align with the window line above and below it, and the gap on the left will still need to be filled in. I'm sure it will be corrected.
