As much as I love height this is also super important / exciting for the skyline as a whole. Speaking of that though, while I'm thrilled the Thompson Center will likely be saved, where will Chicago's next supertall go? I wonder if Chase is still planning one, or if 130 Franklin would be an option.

This is Tishman's 'ready to order' building at 130 N Franklin. They are also developing Chase's new headquarters in NYC at 270 Park Ave. They said they wanted up to 1 million sqft and Tishman's specs on this are 1.1 million so it would be a good fit. For those reasons I speculate maybe Chase works with Tishman at this site. 53 floors so only in the 750 ft range. Logically it makes sense but I don't know if Chase wants a downgrade in building brand/height in Chicago.
As a side note the city extended this year's deadline for this development to September 2022 (
https://www.chicagoarchitecture.org/...-blames-covid/) so there is maybe some urgency at Tishman to get this site filled.

Tishman used to have a really sweet video of this building too but I can't find it anywhere. If anyone can please post.
