If you take an architectural boat tour down the Chicago river, the guides will no doubt call your attention to the high rise condo building at the bend of the north and south branches of the river. This river is officially named the River Bend but is more popularly known by its address 333 N. Canal. It is touted by its developers as a Prestigious Luxury Building with Stunning Views down the Chicago River. In order to maximize the river views, the architect designed the river with hallways on the west side and all the units in the east side. This gives all the units the river view. At the back of each unit are small windows at the top of the rooms to take advantage of the western light(as the hallway is one long wall of windows) However, a recent development across the river have troubled the unit owners. It seems that the property across the river known as Wolf Point is now being developed. Despite obstacles and legal maneuverings that the condo unit owners have resorted to, construction at Wolf Point has begun. Once completed a new development will have 3 towers. The first tower would be an apartment building and the third a 65 storey office building. Who is the architect of this new development at Wolf Point Chicago? a. Santiago Calatrava b. Cesar Pelli c. Rem Koolhaas d. Carlos Arnaiz
