Yeah even if the building design just had it set back from the street a bit I would have been a happy camper.

Nice, good news. It'll be kind of hidden where it is but still a 500+

Will wait for more renderings though because the design looks kind of boring as is

I agree, tall is great, but infill is always still good, especially in prominent locations like this

Love this play by SB / Magellan. “You want us to build your hotel? Ok but you have to buy it when construction is done.”

Talk about eliminating risk from the development side. Way to go.

It's a shame Goettsch wasn't hired for this. A 500ft version of the taller tower at One Chicago that speaks with C+C would be great here.

We would have a blue box... with fins.

300 N Michigan Ave was issued a new construction building permit on Friday, under the address of 88 E Wacker Pl. it's for caissons, foundation, and superstructure up to the 4th floor.

As former pizza driver - I would like to slam somebody's head into the wall repeatedly. The building is NOT on Wacker.


--- why does this building have it's own thread ?

Not true. Its on Wacker PLACE not Wacker Drive. Wacker Place is a very short street not more than a block or 2 long, south of Wacker Drive.

It's a 500 footer.

Is this still the design ?

Caisson rigs, rebar and liners are on site.

Awesome. Glad this isn't dead.

Nice, Chicago's boom still going strong

Thank you ! I didn't for a minute think this was actually going to start this year.

Wish it was a better design.

oh, thanks for the update. :tup:

the 2nd 500 footer to start DURING the pandemic.

kind of amazing.

^ HUZZAH!

I still can't believe this one landed financing in the middle of the pandemic.

Considering the pandemic and the sharp rise in crime due to social unrest, I’d like to know what you attribute this to.
