I'm trying to imagine what this building would look like driving east down the Gardiner, with ICE right across the street....what an amazing sight that one's going to be!! Can't wait to see a clear render .
Aqua in the Windy City is about 860 feet tall. If so, this will drastically change the skyline from the lake. There appears to be no spire on it that will launch this into the much coveted "supertall" territory.
Also take note of that sharp-prowed cheese-wedge podium. It reminds me of the Pure Spirit podium in the Distillery District. Looks like a green roof on that.
edit--travis beat me ha. well anyway, blacktower is telling me those vertical green panels are actually large windows/units that protrude out from the facade, sort of like the yellow glass ones on the Yorkville.
Hate to say it but I think the height is little too much for this location as there will be a huge drop off effect (think Scotia and anything north or east of it before BAC and Trump). Otherwise, despite it being a box I'm not opposed to the design since it has some interesting features (thank you Wallman! and thankfully not aA).
