Well it's o er 150' taller than 1MP so it may as well be a supertall from a skyline impact perspective. This thing will be more visible than Vista from almost all angles except from the East and North. And you almost never see the skyline from due East and Vista will also be lost in the clutter from the North.

Here's to another peak being added to the skyline!

That's true and if all goes well and the second tower of this development gets build, that one looks to be over 1000' and will have an even greater impact on the south loop skyline.

there is no way the second tower goes over 1000 feet. zoning limits the height of the ceiling in the highest occupied space to 900 feet. There can be mechanical spaces above that, but there won't be 100 feet of mechanical spaces.

I was just guessing either way it will be very close.

Update, appears the gravel is set down for the caisson drills to do their work now!

Get your bananas ready people

^ nice. Thanks for the update.

Case Foundation rig being delivered to the site right now. There are also construction trailers on site.

^ Nice! Perhaps this one might even squeak in as a 2016 start.......?

I'm about to peel some fruit!

I'll take pictures tomorrow morning, already looks like it is starting, so they very well might squeak in for a start before the new year

I wish these Case rigs were clearly numbered. I'm curious if this project's start date was contingent upon Case completing their work at Vista. Whatever the case, it's certainly nice to have them boys busy. Bananas; on your mark, get set....

I have a feeling those rigs are coming straight over from the Vista site. If you look at OfficeWorker's photos in the Vista thread you can see that half the blue cran was still on site at about the time Bvic shot the partial delivery of the blue crane above. There is no way Case is shipping one big blue rig out to some storage yard while stimultaniously delivering another less than a mile away. Construction is all about logistics and I'm sure Case is a pro at this type of marshalling of resources. Hopefully they will be popping on over to 1000 S Michigan or WPW next!

Great news on this starting. I think your guesses are right as it does look like the same crane. Case I think stores equipment west of O'Hare in Itasca if I remember correctly.
