New Chicago Condominium Tower gains Approval

The Chicago Plan Commission approved the design for The Spire by world renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. The new condominium project, if built, will be the nations tallest building at around 2,000 feet high and will be home to aproximately 1,200 new Chicago luxury condominiums soaring high above the Chicago Skyline.

Being approved by the Chicago Plan Commission is one hurdle of many more to come including actually building the proposed tower. Due to the soaring height, building costs will be enormous due to the increase in materials required for such a structure.

It's really quite an interesting project that makes us wonder how something like this is even possible to build. My biggest question --- who is going to clean the windows?
