Nice find there NYGuy! Really shows how our beautiful city is going to just keep getting more beautiful as it ages. Vista is making some pretty big buildings look awfully tiny already and it has over 20 floors to go.... WOW

NYguy thanks for the great find and contribution to the Chicago thread. I can't speak for everyone but I greatly enjoy your shots in NYC. Between Chicago and New York we are all truly spoiled for the amount of great development going on relative to the rest of the country.

Visit more often. Some of the most talented photographers on the entire forum will be found within the Chicago main page and update almost daily.

Does Vista's glass has a protective film similar to Central Park Tower? Personally I'd prefer no tinting (blue or green). Thanks in advance.

Yes, the age of the supertall us upon us, and we will be very busy keeping track.

He probably saw that blue screening on the bottom of the picture by NYguy and thought that was blue glass haha

I believe there is some glass showing on Vista from post #4312. Just curious if it has a protective coating as used on Central Park Tower in NY.

In short, the glass manufacturer doesn't have the experience to pull this off. Their product is not able to pass a mockup and the developer may be forced to select a new manufacturer. The glass you are seeing is not new and likely will be replaced when this whole fiasco is figured out, which may not be until the structure is topped out. There is plenty of detailed conversation about the glass charade and Ryugyong references in the previous pages of this thread. In any case, its too early for CPT comparisons

Shots from yesterday. It was so freakin windy!

Just to be clear again, there isn't any problem with the insulated glass panels or the 'glass manufacturer' that I have heard of... in fact, they intend to use all of the glass panels that have already been manufactured to date (which, AFAIK, includes most of the tower) in the final cladding...

The problem rests with the window frame manufacturer and specifically the design and manufacturing of the aluminium frames that hold the glass... these can be quite complex in section and are expected to not only hold the insulated glass panels in place in the face of high winds but it is the frames, of course, not the glass, that have to keep the water, often driven by wind-fueled rain, from entering the building...
