Same sentiment.

This isn't so much about about the building designs, but 4 total 500'+ buildings and 2 600'+ at this location is going to make this area feel like it's own new city. And that doesn't count any concurrent Halsted Pointe development.
Two 600 footers here are going to look gigantic away from downtown and serve to 'box in' River North from the west making it feel much more urban.
IMO getting the first 600 footer going and breaking ground on Halsted Pointe will be like when Google and McDonalds were initially built in Fulton Market's frontier days. This can be a brand new neighborhood of the city and kick off a decade long development cycle on the North Branch that is long overdue.
Additionally the new Riverwalk space also looks fantastic to me.
