Does Chicago have enough mega-millionaires left to absorb the 850 additional residential units in Santiago Calatrava's newly bulked up tower? Read all about it and see the pictures here.
i always heard you can't go too too high with residential buildings because the oscillations at the top make you feel drunk when you're trying to sleep....imagine putting down a few million for a nice view from your 150th floor room and having to spend every night with your head over the toilet bowl!!
maybe it's for those going through mid-life crisis who want to re-live their college lifestyles...
all of a sudden average commute times in the chicago area double because of the amount of time it takes someone to get from their apartment to their lobby..
Every time a project loses it's spire, its usualy in trouble. Broadcasters are the primary tenant and without them the projects height is usualy comprimised. Think Trump, 7 S. Dearborn, Beitler Tower. However significant additions have been made to Sears and John Hancock in recent years to the antaenae.

with a view like that, and the money to buy it, i don't think these people will be getting too much sleep at night anyway . . .
