Remember when the Sears, I mean, Willis Tower was the tallest building in the world?

Well Chicago can lay claim once again to the "World's Tallest Building" title as the Vista Tower is going up.

Construction on the Wanda Vista Tower, according to DNA Info, will begin in a week or two making it the cities third tallest building and the world's tallest, and best of all the building was designed by a woman, Jeanne Gang.

The building is expected to be complete in 2020.Once the final touches are made the building will contain a hotel and 406 luxury apartments.

I can't wait to see it glinting the sunlight along with the rest of the familiar buildings we know and recognize in the Chicago skyline.
