110 North Wacker

  • ... that 110 North Wacker is the tallest all-commercial building in Chicago since 1990? Source: "As proposed, the skyscraper will be the tallest purely commercial building to rise in the Windy City since Two Prudential Plaza was constructed in 1990." [1]; if suboptimal perhaps this can also verify.
    • ALT1:... that 110 North Wacker replaced a building that was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places? Source: "The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency in August determined the [predecessor] building's architecture makes it eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. [2]
    • ALT2:... that cost considerations resulted in 110 North Wacker technically violating an ordinance on air clearance of riverwalks? Source: "A City of Chicago-mandated ordinance requiring a riverwalk component to be “open to the sky above” would have made the redevelopment of the narrow, trapezoidal parcel cost-prohibitive if interpreted to the exact letter of the rule. To make the project feasible, a compromise was reached allowing the building to overhang the riverfront public space 55 feet overhead." [3]

  • I have fixed the sentence starting with a number. As for ALT2, perhaps we can substitute "cost considerations" for "economics". – John M Wolfson (talkcontribs) 21:22, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
    • Template:Re Sounds good. If you can just make that change for ALT2, then that should be good to go as well. epicgenius (talk) 01:28, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
