Had South Korean Lotte Tower in the mix by mistake. Not that South Korea is terribly far from China.

Haha, awesome graphic HomrQT! It definitely has an east Asian vibe to it for sure, and I think that's one of the characteristics that I like about this tower. To have a truly great skyline, a city needs to accumulate skyscrapers of all varieties and time periods. Quite frankly, a design such as this isn't really currently present in Chicago, and I think its addition improves our skyline overall.
It contrasts well with the boxy old guard of the Sears and Hancock, while complimenting the curves of nearby Trump. i think this will end up looking great when completed.

Awesome. OCS is also doing thing. I think we need to keep this momentum going. If we can't have parking underground for whatever excuse developers give (cost, high water table, blah blah), this is the next best thing from an urbanist standpoint... short of eliminating parking entirely of course, but try convincing people of that.
