correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this building gets some prominence in the batman trailers that have been circulating for a while... I thought it was a CGI building when I first saw the trailer, but now I have a feeling it is this building which I have miraculously never laid my eyes on (or at least don't remember)

^I think the building in the Batman trailers is 1IFC in Hong Kong (shows him jumping off 2IFC). All by Pelli of course.

quite a few tenants as I recall. I went to a meeting at a law firm there

Ditto. I've been to Chicago several times and never noticed it, unfortunately. Another Pelli masterpiece, though.

Not a very good shot, but this is the only one I have:

Wow, I've never noticed this one. Great building though; once again, Pelli came through with his work.

I just realized that in this picture i took in summer 2005, you can see it poking through.. It's a much more significant building at night from at least the north side.

I indeed think it is my most favorite among all the look-alikes of Peili's buidlings.

[simms3_redux]

definitely and always have loved this building, very proportional in my opinion, and i like how the floors are divided by just a thin steel line

[volguus zildrohar]

One of my favorites in Chicago. Great massing, lovely design.

Looks great for its age!
