Yeah the street facing side is good, just needs a neighbor
|
^^
The site has potential I think. Isn't it the former site for Park Tower? |
^ I believe that was the old YWCA further south on Michigan. They were supposed to preserve the facade and build the tower behind it. Plans fell through, and the building had to be demolished due to its very poor state or repair.

10 May 2018, taken from State Street with 30 E Balbo on the left. You can just barely see the NEMA crane to the left of 41 E 8th and the crane on the far right is for the Hilton Homewood.

Oooh i love it, nice shot
|
Overall it’s turning out great, but I’m just slightly disappointed at how visible the vertical rows of opaque “spandrel” glass are on the long sides. Although I suppose as people move in and start installing different blinds and things they should become less prominent, am I right?
|
^it is rental, so blinds are all the same. But you are right that this won’t be as noticeable when people are occupying the building.

View from Adler Planetarium. This is having a bigger impact on the skyline that I would have guessed in the beginning.

With how short everything within a few blocks of it is, this one will feel like it's 900 feet tall for a while
|
No doubt what an impact

From Left to right -- One Bennett park - Vista Chicago - Essex on the park - Nematode - Paragon.   And with Homewood Hilton on the left edge.  |
How many more floors left before this one's topped off?
|
^the 48th floor (and core from 50-51) is being poured today of 57. It will top out around the first week of July depending on weather.

Sunrise, storm & sunset. Not best example, but recent discussion around color reflecting against the skyline can also be seen in the morning.

Amazing sunset and storm shots, LeBaron! Those pics are wallpaper worthy :slob: |
So the T/O is going to be the top of the crane from those last shots? One more crane jump?

Man, that South Loop cluster is looking seriously mean.
Add in 1000M and GP2 and you arguably have the Midwest's 2nd largest skyline. |
Final crane jump this weekend, weather permitting.
|
Crane jump happening now. First section already in. You can watch along on the field museum EarthCam although not great quality. https://www.earthcam.com/usa/illinoi...am=fieldmuseum

At last the are glaziers are keeping up on this one versus the other taller towers going up now

Really nice photos BVic!
|
Man, it's really sexy thin when looking at it from an east-west orientation!
Thanks for the pics as always, BVic! |
Really wish this one was legacy tall. Love it.

What a star!
