Fordham Spire, or Chicago Spire: It's Going to be Big

Unless something very bad happens between now and some time in 2010, Chicago is going to have a new skyscraper in about three years. I'm pretty sure that it'll be described as an eyesore, a beautiful work of sculpture, and everything in between.

The project started being called the Fordham Spire. In more recent years, it's been re-named the Chicago Spire, and gotten a green light for construction.

My excuse for posting this is that at least one blog mentions the project: "The Fordham Spire was approved!" (March 31, 2006).

There's also a forum about the Chicago Spire at Skyscraper.com, the site with a pretty good fact pages on the project, starting with "Chicago Spire."

This 150-floor building reminds me, more than anything else, of some sort of flower bud. A quarter of a mile tall.
