I know it seems like the setup to a swipe at the village. (In fact, I think I did make a one along this line in the Chicago in 2050 thread), but this is one of those "truth is stranger than fiction stories.
The story in brief: 113 stories and 1,300 feet tall. Proposed in 1968 by developer Lee Romano for his "Schaumburg Planet" mixed use development. Financing was never found and the whole thing fell through.
The only good render. Seems very WTC-eske.
