oops - mia culpa - wrong bldg.

^huh? those two sites arent near each other

this is the lot:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/59...8!4d-87.655806

About damn time! I used to live next door and that lot drove me crazy. I always wished I had the money to develop it. The same goes for both parking lots further south in EW and the lot south of the Greek church. So much room for development still in one of the densest neighborhoods in the city.

^^^^memories... when I was in high school, I had a friend who lived in the Colvin House... went over there to get high all the time :D

that new development... were they trying to make the most butt ugly piece of shit they could?

Much needed development of empty lots in E. Garfield Park

^ Not bad, POAH is a good developer. Unlike Bickerdike, Ramirez Rosa's buddies, that he's giving a $3.5M lot of land to for $0 plus multiple millions in other subsidy not even including the Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit.

this thing sucks

CEDARst Plans Development Near Lawrence & Winthrop

Someone noted seeing soil testing here a few weeks back- looks like Cedar Street is going all-in in Uptown. Pretty ugly if you ask me, but decent density right by Lawrence Red Line.

STEEL

May 8 & 10



Old school fire protection - insulate the steel with brick.


Part of the later addition - wrapped in plaster on concrete.

The melted metal where they cut the steel beams is uber cool. Great shots Harry!

God that is hideous! And why make it look like a warehouse? Sheridan Rd. was never a warehouse district, why not some cool nautical Art deco stylings? Something deco modern ala South beach Miami would fit in perfectly for Sheridan Rd. In Miami they still build stylish new apartment buildings. At least put in some effort. It just looks like a people warehouse.

How have those lots surrounding hte lawrence redline lasted so long? the immediate area around the stop is a wasteland.

Parking for the theaters- until recently I'm sure this was the most profitable use of the land- but with the gentrification that has occurred in Uptown in the last decade, it finally makes economic sense to develop the lots.

^yep, Glad Cappleman won reelection to keep Uptown improving.

River Walk - east of Michigan.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/colum...519-story.html

Walked along it on Monday and Tuesday. Still lots to do (planting, lighting, restaurants need to open, a HUGE sculpture coming this fall - https://chicago.curbed.com/2019/5/13...ont-public-art), but it is already a nice space.

There already were hundreds of people on it Monday afternoon. Tuesday even more.

When the connection to the Lakeshore East Park is made, and they finish the flyover, and DuSable Park, the pedestrian connectivity from North and NW loop to lakefront will be stupendous.

Yes and no - with the Uptown opening, there's gonna be even more parking demand in addition to the Aragon and the Riv.

For the caliber of entertainment they're looking at for the Uptown, they may decide they need to build a parking structure on that lot next to the Red Line, once the CTA finishes rebuilding the station. The Millennials going to see shows at the Aragon and the Riv may be willing to Uber or take CTA, but the Boomers going to classic-rock and comedy acts at the Uptown will want to drive.

Cross-posting from the NEMA thread here, as this West Loop development looks a lot like the toy set above:

It is pretty nice. Was down there on Wednesday and the submarine memorial is cute and nicely done. When they get that big 117 foot structure up that should be very interesting and partly cover the highway. I figure this will always be a work in progress with nice new things coming every year. That flyover will be superb going over the river when completed. Such an improvement!!
Now all they have to do is connect it to the new section south of Roosevelt road :).. It is never ending and wonderful to watch !!
