Man, that old postcard of the golf course now looks like some sort of surreal AI-generated image.

And that reality wasn't even all that long ago in the grand scheme.

Amazing.

LSE was a massive improvement over the gold course, and previous to that the IC railyards.

Crazy the amount of change that has happened in that spot since WW2. That crazy 90 degree curve on LSE was definitely something as well!

More like a decade plus...

The bKL Architecture-designed project, which has been in the works for several years

And this is key...

For the project to move forward, Magellan and Hanwha still must land a construction loan amid challenging capital markets, high construction costs and other hurdles.

Well this one ain’t getting built anytime soon; Magellan is looking to unload it.

I keep hearing how Chicago's downtown is growing in population and that there's a housing shortage.

Interest rates aside I still would have expected some action in the loop. Times are tough when even a 500 footer can't get off the ground.

That's fine, the design was shit. Maybe the future will present something more unique and inspiring.

Magellan isn't unloading, the South Korean investor is...

"Brokers at real estate services firm CBRE are seeking buyers to take over a South Korean investor's ownership stake in land zoned for a huge, mixed-use tower at 193 N. Columbus Drive and for about 102,000 square feet of adjacent retail space at 333 E. Benton Place, anchored by a Mariano’s grocery store..."

Also from the CoStar story:

Quote:
(Carlins) told CoStar News that a potential new partner does not affect the long-running vision to put a big, mixed-use tower on the site at 193 N. Columbus.
