Landmark status for a few old buildings? What’s the problem ?
You can’t demolish landmarked structures, therefore it couldn’t be built.
Well that wasn’t the question you asked.

News about Tribune East Tower in the Chicago Yimby article.
„ Before the main article, a quick note regarding Tribune East: The approved 1,422-foot supertall has been removed from the model due to a reported account of its cancellation from developer Golub & Company. A source on the Skyscraperpage forum noted that the developer Golub & Company’s president, Lee Golub, had said at a live event that plans were off the table and had never been seriously considered. Given the lack of an official statement and the fact that the project’s approval has not yet expired, there is still a small chance that the project could proceed in one form or another, even if speculative.“

I love how they do 3d massings and historical publications as well. Though YIMBY shares the future, I believe sharing the past is as important

A Second Note on Tribune East
As you may have noticed, the 1,422-foot Tribune East is back in the model. Regarding the last note on the project, it would be imprudent to assume that a third-party account would be enough to suggest that the project has been canceled. The new protocol is that any proposal will only be removed from the model once a firsthand confirmation has been provided.
We have since reached out to connect with the developers and determine if the project is still on the table. If we do get word whether the plans are still in play, we will provide an update. In the meantime, up until any new information is made available, Chicago’s potential second-tallest will remain.
I appreciate everyone’s patience in the course-correction on potential cancellations. The aim is to provide as accurate and real-time a picture as possible for the city’s current developments, especially as the model enters its next phase of availability.

Unfortunate with this one. I really like it. The current proposal for the site is a 500 ft ish building.

„ Meanwhile, Fazlur Kahn reconfigured the skyscraper’s intended skeleton to take on his newly invented telescopic super frame, resulting in a different 2,300-foot design with 168 stories. The massing would have been segmented into three telescoping parts. Despite the lack of an official drawing or rendering, Kahn’s structural concept has been published as diagrams like in the one seen above.
Leading up to 1984, Raskow broke ties with SOM, leading to a legal dispute over $840,000 in architectural fees. Audits revealed that the supposed financiers for the project had already backed out of the project, while the underwriter was by that point illegitimate.“

Those weren’t real projects/proposals, they were only ideas and drawing people made.
I think there should be a clear distinction between something that was proposed/visionary and then cancelled, vs an idea or visionary project that was never intended to be real. That or this thread needs to be renamed to be a broad umbrella that covers both topics. Otherwise, this thread was only meant for buildings that have been cancelled (or as it is strangely used multiple times “unbuilt” even though unbuilt means that something will eventually be built, that is already planned).

The previous MSG’s 1 and 2 where the current New York Life Building is, not the current MSG. Just for clarification.
