this is old info, and may be very out of date, but if we apply it to the 70 floor and 64 floor counts, we can make some educated guesses as to the potential height ranges.
WOLF POINT SOUTH & EAST
Chicago, IL
2,000,000 sq. ft. mixed-use development that will
include:
Wolf Point South - a 1,270,000 sq. ft. office tower that
includes 270,000 sq. ft. of residential space in 150
condos and parking for 280 cars
Wolf Point East - a 600,000 sq. ft. residential tower that
will contain 700 units and parking for 170 cars
Part of Wolf Point development
so according to that, wolf point south is approximately 20% residential/80% office. applying that ratio to the floor count: 14 floors residential/56 floors office.
14 residential floors x 10'-12' per floor = 140' - 168'
56 office floors x 13'-16' per floor = 728' - 986'
so that's a total of 868' - 1,154''.
let's throw in an extra 20' for that really tall and dramatic lobby level and we get:
888' - 1,174'.
as for the east tower, 64 residential floors x 10'-12' per floor = 640' - 768'
let's throw in an extra 20' for that really tall and dramatic lobby level and we get:
660' - 788'.
the 950' and 750' ballpark figures we've heard for these two from the very beginning very safely fall in those ranges.
and with a spire, who knows how high the south tower could go?
