I hate the double spire idea, but somehow I love it in this image. I think its the placement on the western corners, continuing the setback pattern. Very cool idea, but if I could change one thing, they would be antennae. That would be more Chicago
It definitely does look comforting and familiar (Sears, JHC, etc), but I think the current design looks cleaner and focuses the eye better on the alternating concave and convex character of the tower body.
That said, awesome pic lol

Thanks! I've lurked around here since the days of trump tower's construction. But I'm moving to the South Loop in a few weeks so I figured it's time, haha.
idk. Chicago has a few double spire towers, so to me it feels forced like it's trying to fit in at the last minute or something. Do all our buildings have to match?

Heard over the weekend they are seriously considering switching glass companies and have drawings for a new system ready to go. We'll see what they decide.
Heard the same thing. Neighbor works for Jeannie Gang. I can tell you that no one at Gang is panicking.
