I would think similar as well. In this day and age, if you want to charge top dollar, you have to have a good suite of amenities, so I can't imagine them following through with this without at least a couple dedicated amenity floors.
What I'm more curious about is the fact that, as mentioned on the previous page, Chicago isn't really a place where people buy a massive condo to park money and then never set foot inside it. Most condo sales here are to people that intend to live in them. Looking at Vista, last I heard, they have a substantial portion of the full floor units that haven't sold yet, and in my mind it's at least partially due to a lack of desire of living that high up. 1000+ feet up feels disconnected from the city, and the height really messes with the scale of things, it makes the entire city seem so much smaller, and with this building, you'll have to be within 6 feet of the window to even really see much of the city if you're on one of the top 20 floors. I'd much rather live at around 5-600' in Chicago than at 1300', maybe I'm crazy.
As much as I love this design and hope it gets built, I really wonder how much interest they'll get from people that want to live so far above the city. I'm sure there will be some, but enough to really warrant building that high? I'm not so sure.
