I love the progression in this picture. Nema, Prudential, Hancock.
And you'd never be able to guess that what lies between them is - oh, i don't know - ALL OF GRANT PARK

This is a beast in the skyline now. So much wider than OBP and Vista. It will have a huge impact.
The tower crane right now is probably around 800ft?

Here you can begin to see the strong dialogue with the Sears massing that Vinoly was going after...

...this has probably been covered somewhere, but, what does "NEMA" stand for?

...just curious

NEMA is a brand of apartments by Crescent Heights. They have one in San Francisco, and Boston.

The name still confuses me though because for the San Francisco one it makes sense because it starts for New Market and it's in the Mid-Market neighborhood but for Boston/Chicago it doesn't

Remember when they were thinking of painting the Sears tower white?

Peppridge Farms remembers!

Guys I figured it out, clearly it's:

NEMA:

Naming isn't Easy: Made up Acronym

Good one. I assumed it was Noteworthy Elevation, Minimal Affordability.

Walked by this one last night for the first time, and pictures do not do it justice. Was a little awestruck seeing it in person, amazing building.

This building is so cool. :cheers:


PS. anyone know about the mysterious, slightly taller twin in the original renderings? Is that still a thing?
