Two Titans For Evanston?

"It's dueling skyscraper plans in Evanston.

A month after one team of developers floated a proposal to build a 523-foot condominium tower, another team on Tuesday night briefed city officials on its design for a 421-foot condo high-rise on the same triangle-shaped block.

Each skyscraper would supplant the 418-foot Oakbrook Terrace Tower as the tallest in Chicago's suburbs, but it is unlikely that both will be built.

They would block each other's views, for one thing, and the prospect of side-by-side behemoths could stir up a political firestorm in Evanston, which in the past has forced developers to downsize skyscraper proposals.

In addition, the city recently hired a team of urban planners to prepare a report, expected to be finished in the fall, that charts the future of the fast-growing downtown."
