I always understood infill as a building that isn't noticeable or sort of blends in with its neighbors. Like, if someone built a 400 footer at 130 N Franklin, that would be infill. 900 W Randolph extends the skyline to the west. You're referencing towers that are a quarter mile away. From the south, north, and west, 900 W Randolph is the tallest thing you can see (for now) that far from the CBD.
