This could be the last major change to that weird block. Everything else is either worthy of staying or too small to be torn down and made into something bigger. At least that's the way it looks to me
|
So many lambdas!
|
It's an attractive enough tower albeit a bit boring, I just wish they could have acquired the low rise lot just to the north so they could have butted up and covered over that awful pomo-cold-storage-warehouse side wall of 320 N Michigan.

However from most angles, especially street level, I think and hope that the south side wall of 320 Michigan will mostly be obstructed than the renders depict. |
300 N Michigan Demo Progress

Thread bump just to mention that it’s been reported that demo of the existing building is about to start
|
On that note, if you want to see the carbon and carbide building from the top of the London House, better hurry up and make it to that cupola!

That might just be a rare pigeon species. I demand an environmental impact statement. Also rare spiders on rare cobwebs.
|
Also not to poo-poo too much, but this lot would have made an amazing location for a 1000 footer. The view up the river...:slob:
|
I agree...such a prime lot to develop for something tall.. doesn't seem like much of a risk to go for something in the 700ft to 800 ft range for this location...just off Michigan avenue... :shrug:

in its entire history, the city of chicago has only seen towers 800' or taller constructed on 18 occasions. that's it, just 18 times.
99% of the highrises chicago has built over the centuries have been less than 800' tall. expecting every single patch of land in downtown chicago to now sprout 800+ foot towers is way beyond unrealistic. |

i'd say it's 100% the opposite. chicago has never seen more 800' projects than it is right now. chicago's 800+ footers have been built in 4 distinct building booms, with one outlier (park tower). '69-'76: 5 - hancock - chase - aon - sears - WTP '89-'90: 4 - franklin - 900 N - 2 Pru - 311 S 2000: 1 - park tower 2009-2010: 3 - trump - aqua - legacy 2018-202?: 5 + 6 active proposals - one bennet - NEMA - vista - 110 N - OCS - tribune east - 400 LSD 1 - 400 LSD 2 - LSE site I - 1000M - salesforce |
^ Of which Salesforce is almost definitely a go since they have an anchor tenant, and 1000M is "Starting in October!" (or November....or December.....or never) perhaps
