I get a kick out of that address, “111 South Wacker Drive” 🙂 I don’t see why they wouldn’t build it. Interesting design, but it wouldn’t be the tallest building in Chicago, and doesn’t seem like it would be a target for any reason. And even if there was a chance it could be a target, is that really a reason not to build it? If it’s cancelled, I doubt 9/11 would be the reason. ---

“Interesting design, but it wouldn’t be the tallest building in Chicago,” At 45 stories, that’s an understatement. A 45-story building doesn’t even stand out on the Chicago skyline.
