I’m amazed at how rarely Aqua shows up in my downtown panoramas. Whether I shoot an arc from Buckingham Fountain, the Shedd Aquarium, The Legacy at Millennium Park, or Six North Michigan, the Aon Center and the newly expanded Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower never fail to block my sight-lines to Magellan Development’s new tower.
Others have noticed this, too, and it’s led to a lot of speculation about the quality of Aqua’s views. As you can see from these pictures and the video I posted yesterday, the tower’s positioning along Columbus Drive means residents have an unobstructed view of Millennium Park, and the buildings lining the north and east sides of Lakeshore East are short enough and spaced well enough to ensure a clear view of the lake, the river, and Navy Pier.
Buyers on the building’s north and west sides will also have an impressive view of the northern half of the Loop and most of River North and Streeterville.

Great photos Joe!
Love the panoramas.
Trump looks amazing. All the other BS aside related to the projects development, sales and its namesake… that building just kicks ass in the skyline (up close, or far away).
Eric: Trump’s stunning on a bright, sunny morning — it almost looks like you’re staring right through it. The Legacy looks really good against a blue sky and a few puffy white clouds too. Unfortunately, it was just behind the Aon Center from my vantage point.
Hi Everyone ,These photos were taken from the lowest Choice Collection Condo Floor at Aqua (58th to be exact). Stay Tuned for more photos. I heard from grape vine someone is going to go to the top of the Aqua building which would be on 82 for more photos of Chicago Views. I hope they strap on
You can have a good look at this beauty from the Michigan Ave Bridge.
