Last job I was Foreman on in the city had McHugh as the GC, biggest bunch of a**holes that I ever worked with in 45 years. McHugh's PM got fed up with the **** 1/2 way through and quit, he was the one that did all of the coordination between trades and almost had all of the CAD files stored in his head, he was the one bright spot on their team.

So they are building a 73 story apartment building across from iconic Grant park. The mirror finish glass windows on a twisted tower are going to reflect a lot of sunlight onto neighboring buildings and glare into a beautiful park space. The building will have 735 apartments and only 300 parking spaces. Another poorly designed urban ugly building from late architect Helmut Jahn. The mayor and Chicago city council should be ashamed of their decision to permit this project.
