Took a pic of 626 S Wabash yesterday!

The view from the basketball court is gonna be so dope. I'd be even worse at basketball than I already am.

As promised

I have a more in depth post on the project page, but if anyone who has access to permit records can see if this is connected to the Shapack development it would be much appreciated

EDIT if the picture is not displaying properly, the Building Permit # is B200448716

24 stories -> 28 stories
281' ->324'
303 units -> 355 units
10,000 sf medical office space

It's not April Fools yet...... A proposed highrise in Lakeview/Lincoln Park getting a BUMP in height?........

Maybe it's so the can revert to the old height as a "concession" to the NIMBYs (see: Old Town Canvas)?

Yeah that’s always my guess, but developers use that tactic when presenting their “dummy” proposal first…here, I think the opposite is happening, where maybe they are fairly confident that a taller development with a larger base would have a better chance at approval and acceptance.

Anyone else see this? NYC style Twin Tower data centers in Chicago?

Definitely not a scam.

This isn't a real proposal, it's a fan boy's wet dream.

Some grainy pics from today!

Thanks for the updates cloudbod!

ardecila · #**24234** Posted **Mar 24, 2026, 2:00 PM**

I didn't realize 135 N Desplaines had gotten started.

Great news for parking lot haters like myself! And I love to see these smaller projects too, they add a nice fine grain among the massive highrise podiums.

Randomguy34 · #**24235** Posted **Mar 24, 2026, 3:40 PM**

566 W Van Buren was finally issued construction permits

cloudbod · #**24236** Posted **Mar 24, 2026, 4:56 PM**

^ Excellent news. For awhile I was getting worried they'd demolished that little italianate delicatessen for nothing!

I'm a major parking lot hater too haha. It's great to see lots of small-to-medium infill projects patching up the holes in the city's fabric.

Also, one more pic from yesterday-- 227 W Chicago:

Decent infill tower…but what I love most is the fact that the area between downtown and the United Center is filling in with more high rises, with even more to come in the next 10+ years.
