best location for the next 1000 footer

As many of you may have caught on, I hate how the west loop is full of parking lots, and I refuse to believe that there is no office market.

Anyway, when the office market gets up and going again, there is a parking lot west of the presidential towers and before the kennedy that would be perfect for the west loop to have its own peak in the skyline.

I played with google earth and came up with this.... The new building is somewhat a rip off of citi group's tower in NYC, but i like the design and this will get built once Bank of America decides to come to Chicago and build a landmark tower.

Here's the site:


Here's the view from the Kennedy: (i made it a little too fat)


Here's from the Ike: doesn't block the sears tower and its westside dominance


And the greatest improvement, from the south coming in on the Dan Ryan:



My question, is there any development planned for this site? And if so, I hope to God it has some height on it.>
