^Steelwork has been added to frame the new facades in the former Kmart section. New corner storefronts will extend all the way to the street.

Gallery II is pretty much stripped....

Along Filbert Street. I was hoping that the second floor facade would be removed, but I guess not. (note the new steel)

Failure to remove the facade more broadly except on the initial floors is disappointing. But not unanticipated. The renders indicated it. The health partners building with only the 1 floor of siding removal on Filbert is actually the least egregious of the lot. The paneling on the other two buildings looks really bad. If they actually add residential to these two buildings as suggested, I hope they complete the recladding then. But I tend to doubt it.

I hope they slap up as many electronic billboards as possible to cover that egregious facade.

I never thought I'd be in favor of MORE billboards.

I happened to notice that some digging was going on a the corner of washington and grays ferry basically.

possibly just the duplexes on the corner:

Or is it the full thing getting built?

Looks like the Penn's Landing Cap has been fully funded. Great news!

Yeah i'd be OK with it if they give it a clean coat of paint (maybe a light gray). The dirty, grimy white is what's killing it. I mean, the new Scannapieco tower is covered all over in gray, metal panels not too dissimilar from this. Those just look fresh, clean, and new.

^ Hopefully power-washing is in the budget.

I believe the entire thing is being built at once.

and further east down Washington Ave, Lincoln Square is starting to rise.

Groundhog, I love this: "You must construct additional pylons."

StarCraft is my all-time favorite video game.:tup:

Haha, thanks, me too! I spent many a late night playing that game back in the day. I don't know why that line popped in my head the other day but I figured it was relevant enough to throw in the signature. Glad you got a kick out of it.

^^Damn...we've all wanted development there so bad... really wish it could've been a high rise. Maybe across the street...

Anyways, Logan Square mansions are adding more:
Remember these monsters... more to come

^ this one is a giant hole in the ground, I forgot to take a pic, but trust me, @ 218 Arch Street.

These look really good. My only gripe is that the open railing on the rooftop terrace should not have been allowed. It should be a solid parapet. It would have looked a lot better.

^better for your view to have railing like that.

Did you mean to include a link to an article? Do you have more info to share....? You have arrows pointing up but I don't see anything on this page related to Logan Square. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. :shrug:

can someone get the info from this:
