  One of the finest new highrise office buildings in the U.S. This property is a great addition to the Chicago skline and to the city's architectural heritage.

  I like this building, now that it is almost complete, it will complement the skyline from the west and the planetarium.

  The building is really taking shape, but has simultaneously taken away almost all of the beautiful view from 325 N. Wells and The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am hopeful that there will be plenty of new restaurants or other areas useful to nearby students and workers included so that it becomes more than just another tall, inaccessible Chicago building for tourists to gawk at.

  In another location, this would get five stars. But now that I see it poking out of the city skyline, it doesn't quite fit. All of its neighbors are clad in masonry and this glass covered building sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe it will be better when it's finished, but right now it just doesn't look right.

  This building is coming along well. It will be a welcome addition to the River North area & usher in even more towers in the future as the downtown core pushes ever-further out from the Loop.

  I live directly across the street from this monster. NEVER ever have I heard so much construction racket in my life. I lived right in the heart of many developments: The Regatta, The Chandler, The Tides, 340 on the Park, and The Aqua. Their construction process is like a library in comparison. This development has ruined living at The Sterling.Of course, it's going to take away my view.Other than that, looks good.

  I love the look of this building. When I walk past the construction site, I get very excited about seeing this building ''grow up''

  Chicago's stunning riverfront is being realized through more and more supertall buildings like this one, and I am glad to see such a statement being made. I think it will attract more interest because of its size and position within the city then for its design. It is a great fit for Chicago though, and I commend the architect for its defining roof detail, as so many structres in Chicago possess.
