So that 750' design is scrap then? If this is 50+ stories, it likely won't break 700'. But it's a fair trade to get a better design.
It's going to be a wait though, they don't look like they're in any hurry to start phase 2.

Has there been any new proposals for Wolf Pointe or that lot on the River near NBC Tower? I had heard something about possible plans for another supertall on the Wolf Point property...any news?
I actually prefer that Hovey's first Chicago building be constructed in the Cityfront lot instead of the one next to NBC since it will have a direct line of sight to the river down the little boulevard there for eternity.
That's true and I didn't think about it. That does make it quasi-riverfront in a sense since there will be no buildings really in its line of sight.
Oh wow, at least one of those Division St. developments is still on the boards I guess. That is one of those less talked about that I worried could go by the wayside.
Chicago: Division St. Mixed-Use Development, 617-627 W. Division St., 240-unit mixed-use development, May 2010, $60 million.
Chicago: Peoria St. Residential Development, 111 S. Peoria St., 146-unit condominium development, February 2010, $20 million.
Awesome. The 2010 start time is telling. The developers are obviously anticipating a market rebound sometime around 2011. There's still hope yet that the Clybourn/Division area ("Cabrini-Green") will redevelop at decent density; this Division highrise, along with the Clybourn/Larabee mid-rise should set a nice density precedent for the non-CHA properties. There's still that strip mall blight, but you can't win every battle.
EDIT:
uh, dude, you missed

Chicago: Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and Residence Tower, E North Water St. and North Park Dr., 2-acre mixed-use development, November 2009, $500 million.
Has anyone been by this site recently? I want to say that it is in site-prep, at the very least (YoChicago announced that it broke ground a few weeks ago, but their definition is often not as stringent as ours). I drove by in a cab early tonight, and it looked like there were two adjacent sites that work was going on at as opposed to just one....one definitely being Glashaus, but I think there is work being done at this site too.
I feel that I shouldn't like this design, but for some reason I don't mind it at all. At least it's a solid, intensive use of a small infill site, and a another surface lot will disappear...

RE: Superior 110 - Why is that one row of glass covering the second column from the left a different color. Is if just from the angle that photo was taken?
