I'm aroused by this news. I'm ready related to blue ball me again though lol
|
Related is going all out in the next 2 weeks. The 78 on May 10th and now this on May 15th. These two projects have been in the pipeline for years.. the anticipation is going to kill us.
|
Please do not suck....
|
Officially...

Hmmmm..... Is this the right time to propose a huge project?
We’ve got the Tribune lot, OCS, and Vista still trying to sell their inventory. Interesting... |
doesn't seem like room for Trib and this in the current market, but probably room for one
|
Well considering this thing probably wouldn't be finished until what, like 2021 or 2022 at the earliest ..I think we're going to be OK.
|
I would say that if they start construction as soon as possible (within this year), they really won't have a lot of competition when this structure is finished in say 2022. Sure, they will have OCS, but I think both structures can fit into the market at that time. If Tribune tower starts in 2020, then its completion in 2023/24 also won't have competition. I'd be surprised if they wanted to start construction more than a year or two from now. It seems to be the ideal time now.

Nonsense. As in that makes no sense. Also no basis for such a statement. |

Really dude? I mean ffs, they just finished OBP which is well over 800 feet tall and that wasn't even that big of news |
It'll be a supertall but not gonna get my hopes up for anything beyond mediocre. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm expecting 800-1000 ft for shorter tower. 1300-1800 ft for taller.
DONT JUDGE ME |
c’mon 1800
|
Well this is exciting! Lets hope for an epic design, since there will be unobstructed views of this thing from the lake and river pretty much for eternity. Related better not disappoint...
|
If the design is amazing I don't care about height as much, but it would be kinda a waste for the site considering it has the foundations for such.
|
A little birdie told me this will be 7099' tall and designed by Lucien Lagrange.

I'm hearing taller tower (condo/hotel) under 1,000'. Shorter tower (rental) under 800'.

I say we all pose as NIMBY's to try to block it if they lied to our lord and saint BVic
Only a tiny bit sarcastic |
Everyone needs to chill. I'm sure the height will be fine because of the other design we saw earlier this year. That design was around 1,500 feet, and was part of the same "contest" to design 400 n lake shore drive. My guess is that they gave the actual architects the same basic framework (two towers, one around 1500 ft, the other at 800 ft) etc. Unless things have changed drastically since then, I bet the height will 1500 ft. :shrug:

I can see them being eager to get going if they are happy with the numbers on their OBP project, but Related isn't stupid, they are not going to contract everything out until they have final drawings or close to it. That said, I don't really care how tall it is as long as it's good design. Unfortunately this is Related we are dealing with it so it will probably be a permanent blight on the skyline because it's a horrendous design and/or they will hack it to death with VE. Because Related is involved I'm imagining some sort of 750' tall bastard love child of 500 N LSD and presidential towers. Bland, non descript, cheaply built, and extremely prominent in the skyline. |

The slight chip on my Chicago shoulder wants our tallest buildings to be Chicagoan-designed, so if this isn't the tallest I'm OK with that. Having Sears, Vista, 401 N. Wabash, and potentially Tribune parcel tower reign is good in my book.
Though, Calatrava isn't a Chicagoan and the Spire design was just the most fantastic thing ever, that I would have gladly accepted... |
agree good design > height
there will be no hiding this one.. forever |

but i want both for this site. because i'm a greedy man. |

Maybe it’s time to give low balling tactics a chance in NIMBY land. Coming in with a massive tower energizes the NIMBYs to riot. Maybe coming in with a more modest initial design that is well designed will get people thinking positively about it, get them accepting it. Then if there is lots of demand, they can stretch it.
Obviously they’d have to design to account for it. But enough towers have been DOA that it’s worth a shot. |
