And then add in all the hotel amenities they provide for you and all those "salons" and you get an impressive flagship building.

And anyway, there are enough blue glass towers for your heart's content, so don't worry about this one.

I'm not anti-beige or pro glass. Its just that when you have so much of anything in one area, it makes it look dull and boring. This building will just be viewed as another beige building and blend in with the rest of them. It's elegant details will be lost in a sea of beige. Lets get some color over there.

I don't think that'll be a problem with this building.

The Mad Hatter!! · November 19th, 2005, 04:22 PM

Are those the twin black towers? No offense to Miami (because I like many of the other projects) but I wouldn't want those ANYWHERE near Chicago. Those are FUGLY!!!!!!(at least in the renderings). Give me the Elysian or just about any other tall projects in Miami or Chicago over those.
I hope they turn out better then they do in the renderings. Even many on the Miami page seemed a underwhelmed by the design.

spyguy · November 20th, 2005, 03:00 AM

I like them now that they aren't so 80's ish (from the original renderings). They look rather sleek but I'd need better renderings to make a real judgement.

They sure aren't! Wow, enjoy!

I have a brand new height for The Elysian. I called the project manager yesterday, and he returned my call this morning. As of this moment, The Elysian is 700'-5" to the top of the spires. Once construction begins we will be able to visually confirm this by looking at the blueprints opurselves, but I believe that this figure comes form the most reliable source I have, the frickin' project manager.

spyguy · January 19th, 2006, 12:10 AM

Great news!

ChicagoLover · January 19th, 2006, 03:46 AM

^ BVictor... what is going on now with the Elysian? Are they waiting for further sales before getting started on construction, or are they moving full speed ahead?

richardsonhomebuyers · January 19th, 2006, 03:56 AM

That it the last height I saw on the blueprints also.

spyguy · January 19th, 2006, 04:23 AM

I don't think it is sales, because the latest figure I remember was 70% sold.

As far as I know they are waiting on permits. But I don't know the innerworkings of the development, so there might be other issues as well. I was told that they want to begin to pothole the site beginning in April I believe.
