^ I think they did this as a way to please the high-rises next-door and to win approval of the whole project. They are probably written into the PD so that they must remain. Plus, I am sure many of the buyers who are taking these units wouldn't otherwise have looked into the development, so a little diversity is a nice touch (even if the architecture should have rocked).

@Spyguy, thanks for this info. I've got to go up there to check this out ... I believe it's the first double-facade in Chicago (please correct me if I am wrong). Why did they mess up the design with those "contextual" side features, though? It looks silly to see a limestone arch on such a clean and modern building.
