Imagine my surprise when I saw my town on Luxist!

As you can see from the mockups, there are quite a few tall buildings in this area - after all, it's dead-smack in the middle of downtown Evanston. While I think the design on the right looks sleeker, the one on the left would significantly change Fountain Square around and make it much more visually interesting. The units near the top facing south should also have fantastic views of the Chicago skyline just a few miles away.

It should be interesting to see how this plays out. Given that Northwestern University, as part of its charter, doesn't pay any Evanston property taxes, the town could use a big development like this to improve the more neglected areas of town.
