I hate the parking podium. I would love if they continued the tower facade all the way to ground level.

You can blame the podium on those in charge of determining if this building meets the Michigan historical street wall qualifications lol

They did do soil testing last month or so so I think this one may sneak in.

Tourists are not going to go in and take a piss.

They will see it from Grant Park and see the gap in the tooth filled further south.


To me that's the most important part of this project. Plus its a Jahn project so I

will take anything he has left in him at this point. Especially at this location.

That's an awfully nearsighted way to look at the development of a building that will be around (and have a prominent place in the skyline) for decades to come.

I saw something similar in a FB comment from 1000M, though groundbreaking isn't the same as foundation of construction.

Waterview Tower had a groundbreaking ceremony too.

I remember reading that they are on a deadline to "begin work" by the end of the year. I wouldn't be suprised to see them "break ground" and let the site sit all winter

Elliphant Oct 8, 2019 11:00 AM

I'm across the street from the site twice a week, I'll be sure to report if I see anything constructiony happening.

Is financing in place?

BVictor1 Oct 10, 2019 9:08 PM

I was on the train and want to say I saw a tent on site?

It was just a glimpse and I’m not 100% sure, but I thought I saw a tent.

:haha: This seems like prime meme material. We were hoping for a Jahn signature building years ago, but we'll settle for a tent at this point.

I believe what you saw were the tents just east of 1000M in Grant Park, staging for Sunday's marathon events.

Saw on the twitterverse that groundbreaking will take place next week (10/21-25)

RedCorsair87 Oct 15, 2019 4:18 PM

Heading to the grocery store now for some unripened bananas. Anyone need some?

Wabash Side
 
So does the lot for this one go all the way back to Wabash or is that a separate lot? I've never seen a western street level rendering. Also, does anyone know who owns the lot immediately to the north behind 900 S Michigan? I just always assumed it was one of the universities over there land banking but wasn't sure. Guessing nothing huge would get built there but it just seems crazy that long of a stretch of Wabash is nothing just parking lots.

Long live the South Loop!
