CHICAGO | Waterview Tower | 1047ft | 89 fl | U/C

This is a thread for Waterview Tower in Chicago. The name is the result from every residence having views of either the Chicago River or Lake Michigan, if not both, hence Waterview. It will be 89 stories and 319m/1,047ft and will be the new home to Shangri-La Hotel and Resorts. I believe the curtain wall for the tower will be blue crystalline glass and stainless steel. Upon completion, it will be the fifth tallest in Chicago. Thomas Hoepf is the architect and Teng and Associates is the developer. This project has been a long time coming and is my current favorite supertall in Chicago under construction/approved. It has been in the preliminary stages of construction as of January 05, 2006. Here is a rendering: Here are a couple of model shots provided by BVictor: The 29th Floor Amenities Level This is an awesome shot Here are a couple of construction photos provided by BVictor: More photos will be available as soon as things really begin to kick off. Hope you like as much as I do.>
