Last week I got to visit Chicago for the first time and was able to take some photos while I was being a tourist! All were taken by me on my phone on 04/07/2022. I did the Architecture Cruise and this building was very prominent from all angles on the rivers.

If the lobby always puts up cool artistic imaging for the next 50 years then great. If they want to put up quasi-tacky Salesforce logo images or worse yet, sell ad space to other companies on their LED space what is to prevent them? If the Riverwalk only increases in popularity I suspect the inclination to sell such a canvas as ad space would only grow.
The sign was only permitted in the first place because it is a "work of art with no commercial message". Same as Art on the Mart.

The second they start showing any commercial messages/ads, the city can come shut them down as they will be in violation of numerous signage restrictions.

Excellent. I remember reading an article about a permit for the signage but I was thinking that was for the top of the tower not at the base. Good to know.

Those screens have now become my favorite element of this building!! Bless the city for swiftly passing those restrictions after the Trump sign went up, can't have our iconic river canyon transforming into Times Square.

^Beautiful pic

This building is going up sooo slow. The glass is only a little bit higher than the position it was at in December.

not really. foundation work only started on this one back in May of 2020, so we're not even at the 2 year mark yet. that's not an egregiously slow pace for an 850' office tower.

^She certainly has a presence from these angles.

It's a shame she doesn't have horizontal detailing similar to One Vanderbuilt. That would help break up all this blue glass

I see it, I can totally see it from this angle.

Or like it's neighbor to the east...

I get that they wanted these towers to have separate personalities, especially since one is residential and one office, but it does feel like WPS would have benefited from a little more detailing.

Thanks for sharing! Cool you had these handy. They are both right around 850'. The nub at the top is definitely a shared similarity as is the long rectangular form.

A small crane to bring down the big crane is being hoisted up today.

Yeah I don't care what y'all say this thing is going up at a snails pace lol. Feels like the glass has been stuck in the same position since November. When can we expect the entire structure to be topped out/glass filled in?

something about this new blue wall just feels underwhelming... maybe it is because they're almost all the same in terms of massing, height and color.... am I alone on this?

I think it is because of the lack of articulation at the tops of 110 and 150. However it is really only when viewing the group from the west. From the confluence the four office towers are much more interesting with the clear view of the bases (150 and 110's strong points) meeting the River and the reflections of the surrounding buildings varying the look and feel of the curtain walls.

Great updates also thanks all!

If the sun would actually make an appearance, it would change the whole vibe of the all that blue glass. Cloudy skies are no friend of blue glass.

All of these newer buildings really don't have blue glass though, true? It's clear glass with a reflective coating, that can appear blue when the sky is blue, grey when the sky is grey. When viewed at the base one can see the true appearance. Of course the St. Regis would be an exception, with it's many shades of blue...

This is turning out great, big fan.

Could've been taller but it complements the other WP towers pretty well.

Agreed, I really like the building as well. Though like probably so many, I too wish it was a little more taller to have more of an impact on the skyline when coming in to the city. On occasion when driving downtown to my office on I-55, I find that it blends in more than it stands out which is unfortunate because its such a good looking building. Especially when looking up right at it :slob:

iLeunamme May 6, 2022 1:46 PM
Turned out good, could have been great.
Just imagine a tower like New York's 270 Park Ave at this location.... :slob:

F1 Tommy May 6, 2022 2:49 PM
Nice massing and the whole row of blue glass boxes on the river really add a nice density but they are all cookie cutter other than 444 West Lake.

I am hoping they can add a few more interesting buildings west of this row making these buildings a blue canvas that can accent future towers (and not blue).

It just occurred to me that once this and One Chicago are done, which will happen pretty soon, the 805 ft 1000M will be the tallest building rising in Chicago. I find that a little sad.

Here is a simple trick I use: send the images to self via SMS, and the messaging app will automatically reduce the resolution and hence size of the files. Then, upload the received files to Imgur.

For imgur, add an h just before .jpg and it will be resized to something reasonable.

That adds the 'huge thumbnail.' Definitely a quick way to do it, but I was doing that and felt like that the thumbnail compression was a bit too rough and so started resizing in an external program. I usually pick 1600px width or height depending on landscape or portrait.

Here are all the dimensions and letters to choose from:

s = Small Square (90×90) as seen in the example above
b = Big Square (160×160)

m = Medium Thumbnail (320×320)
l = Large Thumbnail (640×640) as seen in the example above
h = Huge Thumbnail (1024×1024)
