- Chicago Spire: 10'0", 17,450 pieces, 150 hours to design, 200 hours to build
- Marina City: 4'0", 9,100 pieces, 60 hours to design, 120 hours to build
- Trump Tower Chicago: 8'0", 11,100 pieces, 40 hours to design, 80 hours to build
- 7 South Dearborn: 10'6", 6,400 pieces, 50 hours to design, 30 hours to build
