Not only that, but the edges are hard and sharp, the the balcony recesses and its inspired thinness just make this thing a vertical monster. Most definitely this is is my 2nd favorite building with visible construction progress now, second to only Aqua, which is most definitely a rare building it its own right.

This can't get built fast enough. What a fantastic building. More love!

Yep. . . the geometry of this building is stark in contrast to the ornate buildings fronting Michigan Ave. . . very sexy. . .

i believe this is right...

Excelent! It looks like we dont have much till it tops out. This building is looking very iniform and its certainly going to fill in a gap in the skyline, and sort of modernize chicago's face. I wonder how the skiline will compare when Park Monroe is completed?

Its only a little over halfway. Lots more to go.

Alot of people are affraid for this Michigan Avenue street wall. It needs to be left alone.

Afraid for it, why? Are they afraid that these kinds of towers will take away from the historic look of the wall? As long as they dont mess with the buildings that are directly on Michigan Avenue than I have no problem with it.

Nice job, cityofblindinglights.

I have no problem with it either. I think it adds depth. The fear is that they
will decide to mess with the building on the street wall. One or more blocks
back is fine as long as they dont take out another historic building .Im on the fence about how they did the street level of the Legacy. I love this building alot but it might start a trend towards more historical teardowns.

Those open windows on the side are so cool. Wasn't expecting that.

Alliance · #**1115** Posted **Sep 29, 2008, 2:56 PM**

Ditto. I might go back and add some of those to the diagram.

jjk1103 · #**1116** Posted **Oct 1, 2008, 2:33 AM**

....the old (re-habbed) buildings on Wabash are starting to look good ....I think they will add a lot to the Wabash street wall........

jjk1103 · #**1117** Posted **Oct 1, 2008, 2:34 AM**

.....there are major changes to the Park Monroe (east face) as of this weekend......the window cut outs are really showing up......

I just found out that their US reps / sales offices are all based out of Chicago. Pretty cool. These guys are doing some cutting-edge stuff, such as the Beijing Olympics stadium and aquatic center, etc.
