I still don't know why there aren't more John Hancock (Chicago) type buildings built, as that concept was quite innovative, in its time: Shopping center in the lower floors, 40+ floors of office space, topped with 50 floors of apartments, with an observation deck at the top. Only thing missing was the addition of some floors for a hotel.
Has anything been built since, anywhere, that copied that? A city within a city concept?
I used to know someone that had a 67th floor apartment in that building!
