I'm hearing the short tower crane will be removed this weekend and the remaining two cranes will be jumped the following 2 weekends.

Heard a big boom late last nigt... Folks on the "Citizen" app (taking everything with a big grain of salt here) say that something either blew up or fell down at One Chicago.

It really is, just the right amount of simplicity too, it's not trying too hard.

Good thing it's nearly 1000 feet tall and will stand out a lot in its area

I really like Vista despite its flaws, but Tower A is my favorite building of the cycle.

I wouldn't mind something similar in one of the NBC Tower Parking Lots one day.

That our only hope for a 2, 000ft skyscraper or 1,900ff

I really hope we get one some day. It would be incredible for the skyline. Unfortunately, I don't see any rumors that would lead me to believe it's even being considered.

This thing is pure sexiness

I had to say it

It almost happened

Those types of proposals in legitimate form are very rare, most 2000' "proposals" in Chicago have just been visions. I'm happy with 14-1600 feet though someday.

Thompson Center Redevelopment maybe?

I am wishing for a new tallest building for the city, even if it beats Sears / Willis by just 1 ft.

Once Vista is completed, Chicago One will be the tallest building under construction to root for. 971' is respectable, but also feels a little anticlimactic after watching the much taller Vista rise for several years.

The short tower crane is being dismantled now by the middle tower crane.

I really hope the second tower has this level of detail. It's sublime
