I like the ending of the tower on the rendering. I hope they will keep it. Real Art Deco style.

Elnerico · January 1st, 2011, 11:23 PM

I think it will turn out very nice!

ChitownCity · January 4th, 2011, 02:37 AM

^ I'm starting to highly doubt that just judging off how the facade currently looks.

But I do pray that it will turn out nice or atleast halfway nice...

***Rumors*** · January 4th, 2011, 05:21 AM

I think it looks great.

chjbolton · January 4th, 2011, 06:42 PM

Do we have a wide render of this building? Not sure where it is and what impact it'll have on the skyline... Thanks in advance

(PS: 666th post. Think I should have been more evil than that really...)

You know I prefer buildings with glass facades, but there are always a few that come by that aren't dominated by glass that are amazing to me (and this is one)....

I counted the floors, and if I'm right they are around floor 20-21. Halfway there!

ChitownCity · February 17th, 2011, 05:11 AM

at the absolute very least they could've atleast made the window panes right... It doesn't even look like the windows are made of glass wtf...

I think it has just the right amount of Art Deco style detailing.

Not boring. Not too busy. Looks good with it's neighbors. A very elegant design.

***Ni3lS*** · April 4th, 2011, 05:47 PM

Agreed, it fits right in. Thanks for the update i_am_hydrogen!

Looks like this will turn out better than the disappointing Elysian.
