Artistic license, there's no facts to back that up.

I hope this happens (over the 1,000 foot mark, or at least over 300 meters.) Don't they almost always release these initial figures for top of the highest occupied floor?

I disagree with you on that. Wolf Point South has odd proportions to me.

OCS will be finished before WPS is even started so why the argument?

Both haven't even started yet, so I find it comical that you have both timelines drawn up to perfection

Speculation and giving opinions about future projects is what goes on around here...

Given his username this was a prime opportunity for a "Donnie, you're out of your element!"

I just noticed that in the diagram of this website it says this tower is 1100 ft tall. Is that a mistake or what? need information please!

Artistic license, I wouldn't pay attention to that too much.

Height of top floor will be 950 ft per released elevation, and with the crown and mechanical the structural height should (hopefully) crest about 1000 ft.

Will it be considered a supertall if the crown is about 984 ft? Sorry I'm a skyscraper rookie still

At 984' it will measure out at 300 meters, so internationally yes it would be considered a supertall as long as a portion of the tower crosses that threshold and is not a broadcast antenna.

In the US though, it's typically not considered a supertall unless it is 1000 ft or more. That's only a difference of 16 ft (4.9 m), so it really isn't that big of a deal but I suppose it depends who you talk to.

230Roberto · #**493** Posted **Feb 17, 2018, 7:39 AM**

I think we can all agree that 984 ft is a supertall it's just more logical.

Looks like the rumors were true. According to Crains (Danny Ecker), Salesforce is looking to expand and could bring up to 5,000 jobs to Chicago. Fantastic news!

Salesforce eyes big Chicago office expansion

The software giant is looking to bring up to 5,000 new jobs to Chicago and could anchor a prominent new riverfront skyscraper at Wolf Point, but a few thorny issues need to be resolved to finalize the deal.

That would be more than three times the size of its current Chicago office at 111 W. Illinois St., where it houses most of its roughly 1,000 Chicago employees.... The tower would still require city approval for Hines to begin work, but it could be delivered close to the 2023 expiration of Salesforce's current 117,000 square foot lease on Illinois, sources said.

Nice! Amazing news if it all follows through. That's pretty huge... 5,000 workers.

Fvn · #**499** Posted **Aug 22, 2018, 8:09 PM**

Sounds like a Salesforce thing to do
