Wouldn't it have been great if the vertical crown panels and the horizontal bands were limestone in color, to feed off the Mart? Missed opportunity on an otherwise beauty of a building.

Wow, the brick wall in that first photo is 100% identical to how the the exterior outfield walls of Wrigley Field used to look. Maybe it was built by the same mason contractor?

This is a very nice looking building...almost looks more office than residential at first glance...the top setbacks tower style really adds a nice new element that a lot of modern buildings we been seeing have not done architecturally...the flat roof tops gets boring after awhile so its a nice change.

Looks nice! Some skateboarder is gonna have fun on that! At least till they get kicked out....
Exactly what I thought when they put up the same kind of glass wall/railing at my building. I can just see a spectaular shower of safety glass as some kid tries to "grind" on the top.
