Hm, different from the current glassy (I assume) base of the tower?

This design is gorgeous so I hope they don't change it (unless it's to make it taller obviously) :tup:

Repaving, new hardscaping and landscaping, new signage, rebuilding stairs to lower Michigan Ave, new lighting. From the renderings it looks like the general gist is removing some planters, adding more landscaping to the southern edge, and adding new/more interesting brickwork.

Nice!

How tall is Jahn's proposal? Is that even legit or just a vision.. cool concept either way

Doesn't really fit there but would look great in place of where Park Michigan was supposed to go.

While I kinda like it, it's not even close to as good of a pairing with Old Tribune as the one we are getting. Looks like they are just posting their rendering that lost the competition

Chicago's 432 Park? The source is pretty prolific. Worth noting that a lot of what they do are visions, but they also have plenty of legit projects in their portfolio.

The "one we are getting" doesn't look like a good pairing with the Tribune Tower either.
