  • The Vista Tower gets closer to reality

              The site for Studio Gang’s Vista Tower—which will be the city’s third-tallest skyscraper behind the Willis and Trump Towers—is being prepared for three and a half     to four years of construction. Street closures on Wacker Drive could start soon, and crews will be working for 12 hours a day on the 93-story hotel and condominium building. [DNAinfo Chicago]
