Gotta believe glass is coming soon.

The core looks to be at floor 25 right now, 35 more floors to go

Podium glass will be arriving on site any day now.

My expectations for this one have been high from the beginning. Remains the case and perhaps especially so when it comes to the facade. Will be shocked if it's not a fantastic execution.

I'm surprised that there is not a SSP diagram sketched up for this tower yet. I actually can't even remember another major (let's say 600'+) Chicago tower that started construction without a diagram being added, let alone this far along. Not that I can complain without contributing there myself - and let's hope it doesn't ever come to that.

Goodbye, Apparel Center. May your reign over the confluence of the river be a distant memory.

Deservedly obliterated!

Its been relegated from a high profile skyscraper canyon (Wacker Drive) anchor to forgettable filler. And it barely deserves that.

Thanks! I've been a long lurker, I often take random pictures when I'm out so figured it was finally time to contribute my fair share.

How kind of the owners, knowing she'd disappear in a few short years, to give 'er a tasteful paint job on 'er way out. As far as backdrop buildings go, this one is perfectly 'good'.

I guess we should be glad they added a lot of windows!

Salesforce really starting to make its presence known on the river. Can confirm I saw glazing arriving on site and it can be seen in that first pic. It looks exactly like WPE which I am good with, personally.
