Hello caltrane74.
Yes, some of the comments regarding this building, from endemic members of the city, may at times seam harsh, but none the less spot on.
This new Ritz-Carlton appearing and sharing much of the bland nature found in the hundreds of "cookie cutter hire rises" littering such cites as Shanghai, Beijing, Vancouver, Seoul, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo ...
Hence this structure, located in a high visibility area of Chicago, a city with a centennial level history for high rise structures possessing a greater level of "attention to detail" and materials, in many ways should be expected to provoke such strong responses.
The firm responses in this thread predicated on passionate pride in their city's skyline, one of finest in the world, if not "THE FINEST", leading to critiques of a granular nature.
