Waterview Tower is a mixed-use, partially-constructed skyscraper in downtown Chicago, Illinois. Originally scheduled for completion in 2009, construction was suspended in early 2008 at a height of 26 floors as the developer became unable to secure financing [3]. When completed, it will be the fifth tallest building in Chicago and the third tallest residential building at 1,047 ft (319 m) tall.
