Looks like they saved the podium on the park side. That looks world's better. Hope they do the same on the river side.

I view the version being built as a roughly equivalent to the original. It's good/not great. https://chicagoyimby.com/wp-content/...1629847124.jpg |

Let's hope the next tower returns to the liner townhouses. Those are really great; I think people would pay nicely for a low-level view of the park instead of just endless buildings.
Of course they don't have to be townhouses... could be regular simplex apartments etc. Maybe give them a separate entrance so they feel exclusive, and certainly direct access from the garage behind. Did we figure out why they killed the townhouses on Reed? Did the ones on Cooper not perform well, or was it just a snap Covid decision that they needed more parking? |

Not gonna lie, I really like how this turned out.

At this point I'm assuming none of the future towers here will look anything like their place holders. Which is kind of exciting.

^Yeah, but I was hoping for the angled support beams on the two towers along the river.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think this building is hideous. The black is so out of place and moody to me, especially next to all the brighter white buildings in the same development. I suppose I'm especially biased, since I really do not like the current trend of breaking up the facade of buildings by offsetting windows, seemingly at random.
Maybe I'll warm up to it once I see the finished product. |
