Crescent Heights Wants to Build Twin Towers in South Loop

Crescent Heights' first ground-up development in Chicago is certainly ambitious and possibly record-setting. The Miami-based firm is proposing building twin multifamily towers in the South Loop. The buildings, designed by architect Rafael Viñoly, would feature a terraced structure inspired by Willis Tower. One would rise 76 stories.

If approved by the city, the planned development at 113 E Roosevelt would be the tallest buildings in the city south of Van Buren Street.
