Chicago Loses Tallest Building Title to One World Trade

Wednesday, 13 November 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Some Chicago residents are disappointed in the ruling that makes New York’s One World Trade Center the tallest building in the country, beating out the Willis Tower. But the Chicago Tribune’s Blair Kamin says the Second City’s architectural stature remains secure. He points out that Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and a planned one kilometer tall tower in Saudi Arabia were both designed in Chicago. And tourists, he says, are still flocking to Chicago’s architectural river cruises.
