The glass in inching up to the top! I hope the mechanical is surrounded by the same red glass as the base. This building was so well done, imo.

Great shots indeed but what is that building right in front on the last one? Is it Park Millennium? That is a truly awful building.

Definitely the Park Millennium. Looks to be a shot taken from the Aon Center. At least it doesn't look that bad from street level (imho).

I really like simple, clean expression at the top, like 200 N Mich.

Just walked by this today. I love the concrete roof structure so far. I hope they leave the shape exposed and draped in RED glass! Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the great photos, HomrQT and Tungsten.

Optima Phase II is turning out to be one of the more attractive buildings in Streeterville, IMHO.

Taken with my cell phone, so the resolution is poor on the zoom.

Wow, this building turned out stunning. It kind of has an Asian vibe going on.

So it looks more like red grated air vents instead of red glass up on top. At least they went with red.

So are those just roof equipment screens, or they for wind resistance for the roof balcony?
