Replacing a Burger King on a prime stretch of Motor Row, so making what could be the next Randolph Street less auto-oriented, rather than more (looking at you, LG). |

That rendering can’t be right? No way that’s 170 feet?

Doesn't seem like we use a lot (any?) type 5 here. Is that because of fire codes?

Yes. Chicago Building Code does not allow you to stack one construction type on top of another the way IBC does in other cities, the entire structure must be classified as one type, this is the hack that makes 5-over-1s possible. There are also just stricter limitations on the height/area of wood framed / Type V structures as well.
Practically speaking these apartments in the Cabrini area are the biggest that you can do with wood in Chicago: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9075...8192?entry=ttu Note that the ground floor is residential (no mixed use) which means all parking is in surface lots outdoors. |

This turned out quite nice. Very reminiscent of 900 W Randolph (The Row) with the black beam look.
The two compliment each other nicely and nicely add to the industrial-loft architectural theme of the neighborhood. Quote:

Yes, indeed. Thank you. Fultonization - yes, that's what this is - is such an unsophisticated approach. I find it to be literally the opposite of "respectful". It's design for morons. That stated, is this design particularly offensive in and of itself? No, perhaps not. But - that's not the larger point here. The approach is leading to a huge collection of missed opportunities and a mediocre at best new urban fabric that is being added. It's like enforced mediocrity to prevent some outright disasters. On a separate topic, it is great to see some proposed new reasonably dense residential infill on Motor Row. Hope there's more to come. |
