I don't mind the new look for 630 S. Wabash:

The previous design had a lot more metal panels, which tend to look like crap on most Chicago projects.

EDIT:
May have jumped the gun on sharing lol. We have to wait for the press release next week. Then I'll make the video live again.

My visualization studio was hired to create marketing material for 311 W. Huron in River North. We created this animation of the building featuring the leasing team in a way that allowed them to tour you through a building that doesn't exist yet. Excited to finally get to show this content off!

We might as well make a thread for this development, even if it isn't 500 ft. We should probably do the same for other +400 ft development in West Loop, since the highrise thread is now basically a West Loop thread

I'd like the hotel component tucked beneath the residential tower to lower the southern wing that overlooks Randolph. Though I know they probably want seperate pools and facilities.

The high slab south side should go against the tracks instead. Or just have 2 leaner taller towers.

I'm very surprised this one is being so critiqued on here. I feel like this is so well done. Also think of how dense this will make Randolph to Fulton/Peoria to Halsted. I'm trying to not set myself up for disappointment if given a haircut/VE'd.

Its impossible for me to be able to keep track of all this West Loop/Fulton Market madness. Build it all, damnit! :haha:

The Bridgford Foods development looks great! Wish they would go taller, but I won't complain. 470' is still epic for this part of town ... although in 5 years it might be on the low end :D

Yeah this is good. I was kind of dissapointed when i read 235 parking spaces for 275 apartments, but then I saw it'd be tons of office space plus a hotel! not bad...

It's also great to see local developers constantly push their limits (Shapack and JDL) with bigger and bigger projects.

Fulton Market. Can't Stop. Won't Stop. :heart:

Looks kinda futuristic with the train in there, or maybe just like the Loop.

Fulton Market is going to end up building a second Loop in under 10 years sans the 700+ footers.

These are some epic balconies on a frigid winter morning - come summer and the busy park they will be wild.

how much longer till we see high rises west of Union Park?
