I can see this project being held up the LSNA because this thing WILL need a zoning variation to move forward. There's the rub. Even though the ACC is completely within the CBA, it also is within the Logan Square sphere of influence. I'm not looking forward to the utter nonsense that will ensue when this goes before the Logan Square Neighborhood Association.

I don't see any way in hell the LSNA could truly hold this thing up. This isn't a 500' condo tower. This is a trophy tower IN the CBD a mere block away from a 975' trophy tower. They might bitch and moan, but at the end of the day they'll be ignored, and rightly so.
At best, they could try to get some concessions. I don't think they'll be able to negotiate anything like trying to lessen the height though.
