Placeholder for an extention is precisely my guess here.

Also, tenants have all the leverage today. I have no doubt that they would completely change the design (even if not placeholder) to land a tenant if they think that's what it takes or the tenant was really assertive about some things related to overall building design, if truly a major anchor...and there aren't too many of those out shopping these days, unfortunately.

I model the current design for 130 N Franklin into my Chicago model.

^Very cool thanks!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Love it!

Wow. . . excellent video. . . thanks for sharing!

Still unbelievable the city even allowed for the old exchange to be demo'd in 2002....

Great work!

Here's to hoping they find a tenant or go mixed use.

Thanks for the behind-the-scenes content, great stuff. As you said there's a lot of blue glass in this part of town. This lot would've been a good one to go taller and bolder on the facade to help break that up. Maybe a parking garage in this part of town will eventually fill that void.

Very nice video. You have some good talent :tup:

That was an awesome video to see how you model all of these buildings. Love seeing 3d studio max - haven't messed around with that for 20+ years. Keep the videos coming!

Excellent work because there’s certainly a lot of effort involved updating the model. I haven’t opened 3DS max in probably 10 years. I liked using v-ray plugins and always wanted to make a model of downtown Chicago
