Anything tall built on The lot at halsted lake and Fulton would also feature prominently
The Blue Line actually runs under the River Point tower - it veers to the north side of Lake St to avoid the bridge caissons.

I assume any new tower on that lot west of River Point would be pushed to the north, to get some river corridor views over Gibsons, with a plaza or lowrise section at the southern tip where the CTA tunnel runs underneath.
