this angle just adds another reason why this should have had some more height...

That set back at the top should have gone to the full current height, THEN have mechanicals.

Finally a shot where you can see a bit of the setback depth.

The problem with the design isn't so much the poor form of the building as the fact that it lies so perfectly perpendicular to the most common viewing angles. If it were oriented more at an angle I think you could see/appreciate the setbacks more readily.

The last panels of glass seem to be taking forever - bet its still supply chain issues. They are also taking time putting the cladding on the steel beams at the base. Probably same issue.

Anyone know when Salesforce / other tenants will start to move in?

This is how I feel about One Chicago. From direct north and south angles it looks so blah.

spent 30 of my 47 years in chicago. Was home 10/21-10/30 staying at Hyatt at Mccormick while my gf worked a expo. I wandered and drove around looking at all the new buildings going up. Everytime I looked at this building and the 2 others next to it I cringed a little. and also Millie LOL

This building definitely sucks – it can't be overstated how disappointing the east and west elevations are, considering their prominence in the cityscape – though I think the other two buildings are pretty nice. Hopefully the denouement of the blue glass era.

I don't think it "sucks". In most cities this would be a significantly good add. We just hope for more here, and especially for such a prominent location. This site really begged for a super tall.

Disagree. . . this building is excellent and it can't be overstated at how well proportioned it is for the site and surrounding context. . . there is no such thing as a "blue glass era". . .

No,no,no people, they should have built a space elevator with neon lights and a mono-rail that stretches from Navy Pier to the quad cities! Anything less would have been egregious!


I'm with Tom on this one....let it simmer a while folks

Yup. Again, if anyone doesn't like this building, design one of your own, raise the 100's of mm's to buy land, get it approved by the city and have at it.

It is a strikingly beautiful addition to the skyline.
