here's another tall chicago skyscraper proposal. this one is being developed by the same folks who brought us the heritage, just few blocks north on wabash, and like that project, this one also includes the preservation and restoration of the existing low-rise building facades along wabash. SCB is the architecture firm.

Cannot wait to see this same angle, zoomed out, to see the effect this tower has on the Michigan Ave postcard view.

Good stuff.

It is awesome how the Grant Park skyline is adding tall towers in all directions. It would also be nice to have something tall and glassy to offset the brutal blandness of Mid-Continental Plaza.

Awesome. Another new tall tower for Chicago. The design is decent too. I like the tree on the setback near the top.

Will this be the tallest pure residential in Chicago?

^ The Park tower is 844', but part is hotel- does that count as pure residential still?
How wide is this? It looks pretty thin relative to height. Pretty design, though.

well, this one might be a bit tricky. the tower portion is residential, but the entire development includes 3 smaller buildings as well as the 14 story building on the northeast corner which will house classroom space for the School of the Art Institute. I think that this will probably be classified as a mixed-use development. we're going to have to see how Emporis lists this one.

^Good point. . . at first glance I would think this one should be considered "mixed use". . .

Close enough?

You can also see the same company's heritage a few blocks north.
