  These hold up the forms for the floor, once the floor sets they are cranked down, the form pried off, and they are then re-used a few levels up.    |

 Good neighbors - venting the concrete pump out to the street - not into the tight alley.  A hole for Batman to jump down.  |

I didn't realize how complex this thing is. No wonder it's taking so long to rise.

They've already got glass up on the first 2 floors. It's been dark when I've walked past but looks decent so far from what I've seen.
|
|
^ Thanks for the update Bvic. Good to see some new eye-catching architecture there in the south loop!
|
That glass looks cool! I think this building will look great when it is complete.
|
^^I just noticed in my own images, but look how the edges of the tower are cut off to create the shape.
|
This one and One South Halsted are two little gems from this boom. They are also built in good areas in need of some stand out architecture.
|
So far so good. The sculpted edges juxtapose nicely with that neoclassical bldg.
|
Glass is looking sharp. Very pleasant surprise.
Also, gives me hope that the entire tower might be curtain wall, which is always very nice to see on a residential tower.....sick of all the cheating-out with window wall..... |

Wow, I never knew there was a hybrid window wall. That's amazing. It looks just like curtain wall. #icantbelieveitsnotbutter
|
Oh man, that glass looks awesome! Very nice surprise. Thanks for the pics, BVic!

Now known as The Paragon Chicago.

nice if that's what it looks like
|
Wow, that's one hell of an attractive rendering.
|
Those corner windows will look baller from the inside.
|
Kind of getting a subtle Vista vibe in that rendering.
|
This is one of the few that ends up surpassing its renderings!
|
These building nicknames are getting a little hyperbolic, but I will admit, it's much, much better than "SoMi".

Much better name. Time to update the thread title!
|
Just noticed in the new rendering that the gym is on the top floor amenity deck facing East and then there's an outdoor area with what I assume will be a pool on the West side. Very cool. I would love to run on that treadmill looking out at Lake Michigan in the winter. And then to have those views of downtown Chicago on the sun deck in the summer... Very nice. :tup:

Interesting....thanks for the explanation. If it looks this good, hybrid window wall system works for me! |

Very nice!
I like the female element in the middle of the facade. |
1411 S Michigan

"Female element" :haha: We are adults, you can call it a vagina |
Adding in the masculine element on the east facade facing Michigan, it appears that the architect clearly had something else on his mind when designing this building :haha:
