The Dow is on fire, this tower will have some of the best possible views—EVER in the city. I mean, being at the confluence is nothing short of epic.

We’re number 7 on the planet for number of ultra-wealthy, so don’t be going all Crawford on me and telling me the money’s not there in the Chicagoland market. And don’t forget about all those rich and bored Wisconsinites, Michiganders, and yes, even coastal and international people who want a pied a terre.

Hines is leaving money on the table not building up to 950’. I could sell condos here in my sleep
Absolutely spot on.
