astros148 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 this building is actually looking better then i orginally thought. the color scheme actually matches the surroundings, and this adds great walkabailty density in that area. If you think the bars and restaurants get busy now, wait till this goes into effect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Huge Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Now can you imagine a few more 30-40 story towers filling up the rest of the gap, cascading all the way down to the courthouse towers on the far left?The skyline would be MASSIVE.

Twinsanity02 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yes it would look great. Give it a downtown Chicago look. To get a good before and after, watch the opening scene of Urban Cowboy. Quite a contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 One Park Place holds that record at 518 ft.This one will be 20 ft shorter. Where'd you get that number? I've seen 501 ft for OPP. I remember reading somewhere that 2929 Weslayan would become the tallest at 533 ft, but emporis has it listed at 468 feet. If it is indeed the latter for 2929 Weslayan, The Huntingon remains the tallest at 503 ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
