Ugh. If this is going to happen, couldn't they at least put the smallest, skinny tower on the east side of the parcel. I can't help feeling this setup will obscure some of the magnificence of the Merchandise Mart. Or how about just two towers on the parcel instead? Three seems like overkill.
...while I think that parcel needs a facelift...Im not taken aback by the eyecady of 3 fuzzy glassy towers.
Let's do something, anything to cover the ugliness of Apparel Ctr and the blue-neon condo building at 333 N. Canal St. I am pleased so far with this plan EXCEPT for using TIF money to assist a wealthy developer.
