In an “unprecedented” move, the three towers won’t sit on the ground. They’ll be propped up 60 feet in the air by columns. Passersby will be able to stroll below them in a park. The central tower will be tapered at the top and bottom, “a graceful and contemporary way for a large building to rise from the ground and meet the sky.” The project will make a splash on the skyline, it’s a sight you can see from practically any direction in Chicago. The project will sit in a triangle with Pickard Chilton’s two projects, all near the grand junction of the three Chicago River branches. The trifecta of New Haven towers will offer another example of New Haven’s unusually high concentration of top-caliber architects. “We’re a small city, but we have a big, big impact on the world.” Indeed! .
