The sales and marketing teams are doing an incredible job of getting people in to see the models and do a great pitch once there.  There is a studio model which features a hidden galley kitchen and a circular sleeping glass room--very cool in presentation.  It's a great chance to explore the potential of the space, so I'd encourage people to find a way to get a tour.  You never know, maybe you'll hit the lottery and want the penthouse.  One drawback to me is the fact that none of the windows will open.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JXG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 5th 2008 12:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Chicago Spire Is 30% Sold]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/05/the-chicago-spire-is-30-sold/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/05/the-chicago-spire-is-30-sold/</guid><description><![CDATA[Really?

It's a horrible design, what are these people thinking? Chicago's skyline has a strong linear look, how does a semi-bioform building fit in with this?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[StupendousMan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 5th 2008 2:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Chicago Spire Is 30% Sold]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/05/the-chicago-spire-is-30-sold/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/05/the-chicago-spire-is-30-sold/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's not that out of place in the skyline.  In person, the Chicago skyline is very vertical and the location of the Spire is really in the heart of tall buildings--the Standard Oil building and Lake Point (or whatever it's called).<br><br>And yes, the windows do not open but the building fully refreshes air every 45 minutes--they explain that in the walk through.  And since there are no windows to open, there are also no balconies or terraces--the wind would  rip them apart and lift objects from them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JXG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 5th 2008 3:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Chicago Spire Is 30% Sold]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/05/the-chicago-spire-is-30-sold/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/05/the-chicago-spire-is-30-sold/</guid><description><![CDATA[No offense, but that building's design seems pretty phallic, if you ask me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CTE]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 7th 2008 11:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Chicago Spire Is 30% Sold]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/05/the-chicago-spire-is-30-sold/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/05/the-chicago-spire-is-30-sold/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have lived in the great Chicago for 7 years now in California, but miss Chicago sometimes, anyway lived in Marina Towers 4yrs, lived Diversey & Sheridan, Sandberg Village, but looking at the Spires, no thanks, doesn't fit in with the ambience, lokks like it belongs in Dubai, not good olChicago, and OVERPRICED!, and looks very cold inside, + alot of highrises are like filing cabinets.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sylvia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 12:48PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
