Instead of a bunch of small developments, it's being driven by large projects.

I clarified that AFTER DELIVERY of BMO and Salesforce tower we will be very near or over 10 million SF. Starting with Riverpoint which delivered in 2017 and within 1 block of the South branch we're looking at (approximately);
Riverpoint, 1 MSF
151 N. Franklin, 800,000 SF
150 N. Riverside, 1.2 MSF
Old Post Office, 2.8 MSF
110 N wacker, 1.5 MSF
BMO tower, 1.5 MSF (perhaps more if floors are added)
Salesforce, 1.2 MSF
That's 10 million square feet right there. And if Salesforce Delivers in 2023 as projected it will have taken just six short years. It's hard to believe.
