It isn't moving forward... and it will never be approved or built. At most we might see the area rezoned before being sold to another developer down the road.

The height of the main tower was the least of this proposals problems. Altering the Old Post Office, obscuring view corridors of the Post Office, spanning the Eisenhower with another tower, spanning the Chicago River, 14million square feet of build out... none of those are even REMOTELY feasible, irregardless of the economic climate.
