Aon has an extremely prominent location in Chicago, lining the north edge of (and fully exposed to) Grant Park, and was the second tallest building in the city at the time of its recladding. (It was just recently passed by the Trump Tower, making it number three now). Aon is 83 storeys and 346 metres in height, edging First Canadian Place by 11 stories and 48 metres...
all to say that it is at least as prominent in Chicago as FCP is in Toronto, if not arguably more so. If its recladding was not that big an event, I don't predict much more for ours.
You do realize that everything you posted is pretty much irrelevant. I don't think anyone ever claimed it would be the most exciting event to hit our city. People simply said it's the most exciting project at the moment to THEM, and none of this information will change that.
In fact I think I'm most excited about this project too to be honest.
