Rating: Four stars. I've always liked 181 West Madison, but I wish it had been built taller so that it would stand out in the Chicago skyline. My dilemma is that I'm a height junkie so I prefer Cesar Pelli's design for 777 Tower in Los Angeles, which is very similar to 181 West Madison because it is taller at 725 feet. I wish that 181's metalic skin could be traded with 777's white granite which I feel is a bit dull. Los Angeles has a shortage of truly beautiful skyscrapers while Chicago overflows with them. 181 West Madison may be shorter than it's 777 Tower cousin but it looks better.
