The 832-foot-tall tower also would be the tallest Jahn-designed building in Chicago, where the architect is based. It is expected to take 28 to 36 months to build, he said. ---

In my opinion, the height is great. If more beautiful buildings like this are built around it on the same street, it just means that the buildings behind them will have to be taller to get a better view 😉 Anyway, not much is happening on site besides the arrival of more machinery! From November 27th: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/9/a/9a8ece3f63857a96064616a527e11e63b4cf7c78.jpeg) ([@SolarWind](https://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showpost.php?p=8761042&postcount=1363)) I hope this thing goes vertical soon! 😃 ---

I’m sorry everyone for my absence! I have been lurking a lot more the past few weeks. Haven’t had the time to post much, but now I should have some! This one is looking good. It’s moving forward at a good pace. Here’s another photo from March 27th so it was a while ago. But it gives you a good idea of what the foundations are looking like: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/a/c/ac2901d5f8c73337ca8c11c044cb7c631a13ab81.jpeg) ([@Le Baron](https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8876217&postcount=1546)) ---

Agree that Chicago is having bit of a boom?! The cost of building is much cheaper than NYC. ---
