MCL's ParkView gets its copper

During a stroll through Streeterville this morning, I snapped these photos of ParkView, the 47-story high-rise by MCL Companies at 505 N McClurg Ct.

The building was topped off back in November, but it looks like workers are now fitting the building’s exterior with the much-talked-about copper striping. Compare these photos to the colorful rendering we’ve been enjoying for more than a year; how do you think the finished product will measure up?

Homes in the ParkView start in the $380s, according to the project’s Web site.
