I think they raised the northeast crane this morning. It now looks taller than the IBM building (from the Tribune webcam, that is.)

Thanks for the diagram Aaron. From my own calculations, I had figured around the same thing; plus or minus a floor.

Given my experience with small dogs, I'm inclined to take this as a positive. They could call those windows "yap-stoppers."

On the 4th picture I had some trouble figuring out which tower was the Trump.
It wasn't until I saw the curvature of it that I found out It was the Trump.

yeah my pictures came out much darker than I would have liked. I'll try to be careful of that in the future. But on the right (IBM) you can see its black and Trump is blue. But not so much in that shot.

Good eye DUBAI, SOM knows what they are doing and this was done for a good reason.

Check out the similar waistline.

FYI every Trump Tower setback means something in deference to the Chicago skyline.

Call SOM if you do not believe me.
