Love it. Don't drink the West Loop Nimby Kool-Aid. This idea that no high-rise should exist west of Halsted was always nimby BS. It's right by the L a few blocks from Halsted. It's not going to ruin the mid-rise vernacular of the neighborhood. It's one building by a very thoughtful experienced architect. It probably won't be that tall in the end but really why shouldn't it be? The idea of this area staying a mid-rise utopia forever is unsustainable. Development around here is happening so fast and land is getting snatched up so quickly. If we don't start building up there will be nothing left soon. This is being presented now because there are people out there that understand the future of the city and the need to take advantage of the opportunity this neighborhood currently represents. It's not going to last forever.
