I was looking through Chicago's permit website to figure out why 1221 W Washington hasn't started construction despite receiving permits almost a year ago. Apparently there's a hold by DPD because the warehouse that's a part of the development has an orange rating on the Chicago Historical Resources Survey.

That's odd. I thought they already demolished the orange-rated, Burnham-designed warehouse on the site? What's left to preserve?
Not gonna lie, I kinda dig that, regardless of simplicity; the proportion of the punch-out windows seems appropriate for the facade area, and what will really sell it is the 'blue stone' facade material, whatever that may be. I suspect a community presentation will have more material details.

I kinda like it, especially as pretty decent filler. Although, I would have rotated the building 180 degrees, for the inner courtyard to get a lot more sunlight on the south side of the building.
