Initial Plans
Plans for the 112-story building were announced in 1999 by Scott Toberman of European-American Realty. This would have been the tallest in Chicago at 1,567 feet (478m), surpassing the Willis Tower by 116 feet (35 m). It would also have taken the title for world's tallest building, being 84 feet (26 m) taller than the Petronas Towers. A set of three 433-foot (132 m) broadcast antennas (not included in the official height) would have brought the total height of the structure to 2,000 feet (610 m).

Famous quotes containing the words initial and/or plans:
“Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.”
—Henry George (1839–1897)
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
