The fact that people are questioning that this project should have its own dedicated thread just speaks to Chicago's mightiness.

I do agree, though, that with the last boom (1999-2007) a project like this would not have qualified. I believe that our cut off back in those days was 700 feet?

I would love a return to those days, when so many tall projects were being built.

Still, with the current boom I think the designs are getting better. As others have discussed, it's nice to see far less beige concrete crap getting thrown up everywhere.
