Aspire To The Spire - The Pinnacle Of Chicago Real Estate
By Arow

Home to the first modern skyscraper, Chicago has always rivaled NewYork as THE city for skyscrapers. Oh, sure, New York has the EmpireState, the Chrysler Building (THAT relic? I hear you saying), and, by2011, Freedom Tower, but Chicago - which has one of the tallestskylines in the U.S. - also lays claim to the Aon Center, the JohnHancock Center, and the mighty Sears Tower: the one that finally putNew York out of first place. However, the year 2010 will see anothermonumental silhouette added to Chicago's imposing skyline: the 2,000foot high Chicago Spire. While the Spire will be the tallest buildingin North America, it will NOT be the tallest in the world; Dubai's BurjDubai will outstrip it by up to 1,000 feet. However, The Spire claims adistinction that has Chicago Realtors bubbling with excitement: in 2010Chicago will be home to the tallest all residential building in theworld.

Hampered for so long by height restriction laws, it wasn't until1960 - 3 decades AFTER the construction of the Empire State Building-that Chicago was able to really compete with New York in the buildingof skyscrapers. The city did make up for lost time with buildings likethe Sears Tower and the John Hancock Center, and seems now to be in themidst of another skyscraper building boom. Since the beginning of themillennium, dozens of 50 story (and over) buildings have gone up

inChicago, and construction is underway on a number of "supertalls"(buildings over 1,000 feet). Some of these include the Waterview Tower(1,047 feet) Trump International Hotel and Tower (1,362 feet), andfinally, the magnificent Chicago Spire at 2,000 feet.

Without a doubt, the most striking feature of the Chicago Spire -even more so than its immense height - is its spectacular 'twistedmetal' or corkscrew-like design. A computer rendering of the Spiredepicts it as a massive platinum drill bit twisting up and out of theearth. Renderings also show that although the Spire will dominate theChicago skyline it will certainly complement it beautifully. For many,the most exciting feature of the Spire will be the chance to own partof it. In fact, you can do more than own part of it, you can LIVE in it- in addition to a magnificent 4 story-high lobby and a residents-onlyobservation deck that affords vistas of four states (you may see Iowaon a clear day, that's five!) the Spire will comprise 1,200 veryexclusive condos, in a variety of styles and tastes. They'll be readyin 2010, but don't wait until then if you're interested - they are sureto sell at record speed, the ones on the higher floors going, ofcourse, for TOP dollar.
