^^ I agree with the mixed-use angle. I've always felt that this next S Wacker drive cluster of towers to go up should perhaps primarily be office, but should also include hotel and residential, and in doing so would also make a nice transition to 235/Riverline/Printer's Row, etc.....

Regardless, great news that these sites have a new owner that has rapidly become a major development/redevelopment player downtown this cycle, and should bring some much-needed energy to efforts to get some new development started at the South end of Wacker.

Encouraging that they've engaged a highly competent and experienced architect for office towers.

After the NW corner of the Loop (150, RP, 151, 130, GG), the (not W of expressway - mindlessly follow Google/hipsters, folks) South end of Wacker is the next concentration of major office development downtown.....as in addition to these towers, there is also a site at 401 S Wacker for a large tower......
