We must be looking at different 1990's designs. Agree to disagree

Chicago has been building a lot of these anachronisms lately.

Agreed, the glassy facade could have done with some more cladding or stone expression. Apart from that the color sits well with me.

Amen.

River North NIMBYs are quick to shit all over Streeterville ("we don't want to be Streeterville!") but they could learn a lot from this project's interaction with the streetscape. More of this please!

This is great all around. All that retail fronting the new park in front of One Bennett should create a good urban space.
