How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

A City Hotspot in the Loop, a bank and energy company headquarters whose facade sweeps outward as it rises. The hotspot text jokes that your eyes are not playing tricks: the tower was built to look curved.

The real place

Chase Tower, completed in 1969 as the First National Bank Building, is about 259 metres tall. Its sides curve outward toward the base, giving it the flared shape the game copies.

Visiting

Visit the plaza at the foot of the tower, where Marc Chagall's long mosaic The Four Seasons stands in the open air. Look up from there to see the curve of the facade best.
