Skyscrapers & MegaProjects's video: Chicago s New Iconic Triple-Skyscraper Vista Tower

Vista Tower is a supertall skyscraper being built in Chicago, Illinois. The Chicago Plan Commission approved the building on November 19, 2015, in a meeting that also approved the One Grant Park development. Construction started in August 2016 with expected completion in 2020. Upon completion, it will become the city's third-tallest building at 1,191 feet (363 meters). Designed by a team led by architect Jeanne Gang, Vista will supplant the nearby Aqua skyscraper (also designed by a team led by Jeanne Gang) as the tallest structure in the world designed by a woman. This will make Chicago home to the two tallest structures designed by a woman. Vista Tower is a joint project of Magellan Development Group and Wanda Group. The original estimated cost of construction was $900 million. The tower was topped off in April 2019, and completion is expected in 2020. I do not own any of the pictures used in the video.
