"Twisty" Tallest N. America skyscraper to be Built in Chicago After All

The Chicagoist reports today that Irish developer Garrett Kelleher has purchased the property where the "Fordham Spire" was to built from The Fordham Company. The wild twisty skyscraper will now be called (yawn) 400 North Lake Shore Drive. It's slated to be 124 stories high and contain 50,000 square feet of retail space and a 20-story, five-star hotel. Sound familiar?

Does anyone else wonder why these developers don't see what most of the rest of us see as obvious. Namely, that there are way too many new developments like this slated to be build in Chicago? That being said, I'm pretty fired up about the design of this one.
