    Wish we would hear here from somebody in the Chambers Bldng.

Almost gone (sorry for the crappy pic, I didn't take it )

[Tosspot]

I'm surprised it's taken this long. I was down there taking pics of it a month ago and thought surely it'd be long gone by now.

Here are a couple pictures from today:

Who's going to clean up that awful mess!

[warwickland]

oh totally, i dont think power + light is going to do very good with that mess laying around.

And where will people park with all that junk!

i was looking at Booth Hansen associate's website again.  Here are some of the high rise buildings they've designed.  I must have missed this section last time i was checking.....
hopefully they'll design something that looks more like their high rise designs than their regular multi-family res designs (shown on one the previous pages in this thread).  I think the second Chicago building is roughly 22 stories.... maybe we'll get something similar?

This is what we are slated to get as of now:

We can do a lot better than that. The streetfront of the building in this rendering looks as though it hardly cares about street-level design. I wouldn't say it's outright hostile to the street from a design perspective, but the designers could probably do better than this.


EDIT: that storefront for the grocery store really is miserable the more I look at it. But hey, who really gives two shits about quality design in this city anyway? Not many, apparently.

[KansasCityCraka]

I hope the actual design is more consistent on where they place the balconies.

With those balconies being scattered everywhere it looks like a peice of shit.

I like the tower design....cracka, that pic looks familiar, where did you find it?

to tell you the truth, I have no clue. It was saved on my computer. So, I thought I would put it to good use. 

[ComandanteCero]

is that rendering from before they revised the numbers to 22 stories or after?  Because my impression was that they said they were going to try to re-design the tower to look slimmer.  Counting just the visible stories (without the grocery store or the fitness center) i can see 15-16 stories.  Maybe they went for a number in between 15 and 22?

[KCPowercat]

yeah for some reason I think that was the older design....I thought I saw something slimmer at the P&L offices.

It's the most recent one I have seen at least. Where are the P&L Offices? I need to check that out if it is open to the public to view.

[MidWestSider]

Nothings being pre-sold yet, is it?

[KCPowercat]

Not yet.

Town Pavilion 30th floor is Cordish's offices...open to the public.

Do you just walk in and people are like "why the heck is that dude looking around in our office", or do they come talk to you?

I'm just wondering, I don't want to go in there and be misinformed.
