Chicago's Classy New Condo
Although I have never been to Chicago, I hope to visit certain exiled friends there soon. In the meantime, the city's architectural resume continues to impress. Like Toronto, Chicago has experienced a terrific rush of new condo high-rises. I use the word "terrific" because, in general, any kind of upscale urban density is a good thing, but both cities have had trouble with the mediocre appearance of many of the new buildings. Too much concrete, cheap panelized brick, lumpy proportions.
The Tribune has a nice review of the latest Chicago luxe condo, one that is impressively tall (631 ft) and well shaped. The Heritage at Millenium Park is a winner in my books, regardless of what the insides are like. (Nice sales website too)

The outcome of the Great Chicago Fire led to the largest building boom in the history of the nation. Perhaps the most outstanding of these events was the relocation of many of the nation's most prominent architects to the city from New England for construction of the 1893 World Columbian Exposition. Many architects including Burnham, Root, Adler and Sullivan went on to design other well known Chicago landmarks because of the Exposition.
In 1885, the first steel-framed high-rise building rose in Chicago ushering in the skyscraper era. Today, sportsbook Chicago's skyline is among the world's tallest. Downtown's historic buildings include the Chicago Board of Trade Building in the Loop, with others along the lakefront and the Chicago River. Once first on the list of largest buildings in the world and still listed sixth, the Merchandise Mart stands near the junction of the north and south river branches. The three tallest in the city are the Sears Tower (tallest in the U.S.), the Aon Center, and the John Hancock Center. The city's architecture includes lakefront high-rise residential towers, low-rise structures, and single-family homes. Industrialized areas such as the Indiana border, south of Midway Airport, and the banks of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal are clustered.
