The park should be fine at least, Michael Van Valkenburgh one of the foremost landscape architects practicing right now.
The Hancock, The Sears, and many other mid century towers are clad in Aluminum and show zero signs of wear after 50+ years. Anodized Aluminum is probably the best all around cladding material you can use in terms of long term durability, it simply shouldn't ever wear out. So that's not a concern.

The only concern here is budget and Related has constantly shown a total aversion to doing anything even remotely notable here in Chicago. This will not change in the future, this is their MO. As many of us have repeated from the beginning, this is not a surprise that this design would be half assed in execution which is particularly fatal for any and all historic styles where detailing and materials are so critical.

Let's hope Related doesn't build anything else faux historic in Chicago again, it's the worst possible outcome.

Completely. Related has made so much money off of value engineered turds in Chicago and squeeze here’s the biggest dump yet. This IBS is very incurable and very very beige.

I wanted to see what it would look like if they hired a commercial painting company to paint the panels between the windows to give it a more traditional Art Deco look. I (poorly) painted a brown between the windows to attempt to simulate a medium bronze. But they could do a black or an oxidized copper color as well and I think they'd do the building a lot of justice.

I kinda like out with out the brown around the windows. This building looks nice but like I said before, it does not belong with the surrounding buildings. It just looks out of place in my opinion

So are the mockups OBP has on the website it is using to sell high-end condos materially different from how the building will actually appear? I wouldn't have thought that was possible

If you go over the website with a fine tooth comb you'll probably see a disclaimer about how the actual building might look differently.

The side-by-side image is messing with my brain! ...and they just ran a story on this on Gizmodo. Small World.

My thoughts exactly.

If it were over in River North, it would just add a bit more height to a sea of beige.
