Good to hear! Hopefully no more speedbumps

Outstanding news.

I'm sure it will take a few days to get things up and running again.

The September 2026 deadline is less than a year and a half away. They'll have to go into overdrive to meet the deadline, so we should see many cranes flying

It's been a little over a month since any updates on this - not sure if it's still just typical caisson work going on, but it would be nice to get some pictures of the site.

Best I was able to do with my phone on Saturday

On Juneteenth they were out there working and I counted at least four active excavators.

Great photo update nevertheless! Reading back in the thread, it was said that the caisson work would be expected to take about two months to complete.

That was said back in mid-May, including the recent delay the IGB had with this, that would put at the end of the month a general timeline of when they should be finished with the work. But who knows if that'll happen.

funny enough I actually heard through the grapevine that they had to reconfigure the caisson layout due to bad soils…

Oooh, on which part of the site? Is it for the hotel tower or the casino building?

I just went by it. It looks like it’s for the hotel portion. I took a picture, but not sure what’s the best way to upload a picture to here lol

I need about two more cranes on site to satisfy my appetite.

dewbs · #**1879** Posted **Jul 31, 2025, 12:52 PM**

Apologies for the blurriness. Lots of dirt piles and excavators, though.

cloudbod · #**1880** Posted **Jul 31, 2025, 6:50 PM**

I'm glad they're doing it all at once, rather than putting off the tower until after the main casino complex is built.

I haven't been able to find an official height figure for this tower, does anyone know? All the articles say it's 34 stories, but here in Chi ~34 story buildings can vary from 295ft (michigan terrace) to 648ft (the daley center lol)

Since it's a hotel, I'm guessing somewhere around... 430ft above the river?
