Chicago-ey font

This font is in use all over the city of Chicago, and all over www.architecture.org. It’s very close to Century Gothic, but the lower middle bars on the A, R, and P in particular highlight the differences. The middle bars on the F and E here also do not extend as far as the top bars, as they do in Century Gothic. I know this has got to be a font, especially since it’s in use on the web, but I can't for the life of me identify it. Thanks a bunch!

I would have said Gotham until I saw that G. The PDfs from the architectural site only contain Arial, the header is embedded as an image-file. Hmmm …

A font that is very close is Sackers Gothic Light.
