Construction Progress Check-in at Rafael Viñoly Megatall High-rise on Roosevelt

Joe Zekas from YoChicago! snaps some fun shots of the rapidly rising highrise at Roosevelt and Indiana (via Chicagoarchitectureblog.com): 

The Rafael Viñoly-designed tower will bring another 792 apartments and 12,000 square feet of retail space to the southern border of Chicago’s front lawn. And at 887 feet, it will be the tallest building in the South Loop when completed. 

There’s still a year of building to go, but it’s already making a visual impact. Check out the photos below from Joe Zekas at YoChicago!, the man who puts the “OG” in “OGP.” (That’s One Grant Park.)

Looking northwest from Indiana.  The scale of the building is clear on
this side and sorry about your amazing view people to the south - gone!
