125-Story Skyscraper Proposed: Miglin-Beitler Developments Inc., a major developer of offices in Chicago and its suburbs, announced plans to build a 1,914-foot downtown skyscraper--nearly 400 feet taller than the 110-story Sears Tower, which rises 1,522 feet with its antenna and has been the tallest building since its completion in 1974. Miglin-Beitler presented its plans to the city’s planning department last week and hopes to get approval in time to start construction in December. The proposed building, being designed by architect Cesar Pelli of New Haven, Conn., would be built on a one-acre parcel about three blocks from Sears Tower. It would contain 1.2 million square feet of office space, only about one-third the rentable space of the bulkier Sears Tower.
