This is a tired, old story. Other builders in another city besides New York are one step closer to building the nation’s tallest building. The Chicago City Council approved plans for a 150-story lakefront tower that would be the nation’s tallest building.
The Chicago City Council has approved a zoning change, clearing the way for construction on the 2,000-foot, twisting spire in Chicago.
The completed structure would unseat the city’s 1,451-foot Sears Tower as the tallest building in the United States. The spire would also be taller than New York’s 1,776-foot Freedom Tower, currently under construction at the World Trade Center or Ground Zero.
The Chicago tower, which will be located near the intersection of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, will feature a four-story transparent glass lobby.

1776: The year the United States of America was born.
I’ll go with the U.S.A.
