The site also hosts a discussion forum for skyscraper enthusiasts. General information is also given about each structure if available, such as the location, the year built, the height and the number of floors. One of my favorite proposals in the country that didn't happen. Using these diagrams, skyscrapers and other tall structures can be compared. Maybe make a 1600-1700' version, carve an wide rectangular opening around the 1500' mark, add an observation deck with restaurant, make it mixed used, and call it the CWFC. The scale of the drawings are one pixel per meter. It will contain 325 units and a retail element.

The sheer, boxy apartment tower is in the range of 40 stories and features a cantilever near the top. But like someone else said, this is going to be one of the tallest clusters in the world. For those of us waiting with baited breath for a glimpse of Hovey's design, spyguy at, naturally, has come through. The site has over 60,000 drawings of skyscrapers, other major macro-engineering projects, and tall structures around the world.

The site is owned by Skyscraper Source Media, a supplier of skyscraper diagrams for the publication, marketing, and display industries, and is a publisher of illustrated skyscraper diagram poster products.

I was walking east across the river at Randolph the other evening around 6ish and it appeared no one was inside general growth at all. I don't know General Growth has to be one of the more underutilized and ugly buildings on is an fugly embarrassment. Although it'll probably be the 2020s++ before we again see any Wacker towers getting demolished for bigger things (100 or 150 South may be earlier candidates, not to mention GGP). Separately, I am still hoping 101 Wacker eventually gets torn down and replaced with a marquee skyscraper, which will also be somewhat harder due to 130 Franklin. The 3rd of September was chosen for Skyscraper Day to commemorate the first master architect of high-rise buildings, Louis Sullivan, who was born in Boston on the 3rd of September, 1856. It's like the Crain's article from a couple weeks ago about Hines pulling the trigger on doing River Point on spec - coming out of a recession, the first mover has a big advantage, and the last mover gets hosed. On Spyguys latest, I count 66 floors of glass on the tower (22 sets of 3 floors with dark bands in between), not counting the crown or all the lobby floors. The loathsome parking lot on Clark and Division could finally meet its demise. Like its forebearer, the new plan for 101 North includes ground floor retail space and vehicular access off of the rear alleyway. The illustrators of SkyscraperPage have added 135 fantastic drawings to the skyscraper diagrams this week. Had the Crowns waited, they would be the ones with the tougher sell. There is kind of a chess move aspect to this, because if/when this is built, it will become a little harder for the owners of the property to the N to build and market a tall Class A tower, as it would have no southern views to offer.
