I disagree about a ridge of glass like this hurting the skyline. I think the compositional layers of a skyline are greatly enhanced by clusters of buildings of the same style. A big ridge of 700-800' glass buildings doesn't dominate our skyline at all, but certainly adds a large, interesting feature to it. I've always loved the block of silver glass and stainless that was built in the last boom on the West side of Wacker in the last boom. This row will be no different and once all these improvements are in, you can bet at least one of the remaining developable lots in the area will end up being something larger and more interesting that will break through the plateau.
