Very strange, I was just thinking about this proposal this morning while driving on Lower Wacker!
It's really the only site left on Wacker that can support a major office tower. 180 N Wacker is a lowrise that could be redeveloped, but it's too slender for large floorplates.
I kind of assumed the next trophy office property to kick off after WPS and BMO would be 130 N Franklin, in some form... it's closer to Ogilvie, River North and Fulton Market. But there is definitely renewed buzz in the Southwest Loop with OPO re-opening.
