It would be cool if they did.

Ha, right. It indeed would be cool if this project and many more could happen, like in many other normal cities.

I relatively frequently check out the Toronto development forums, and I frequently see people on the forum complaining about projects like these, meanwhile I just want to see a fraction of what they have in Chicago. Toronto’s probably got like 100 projects like this scattered across the city (and the suburbs!)

My experience with Toronto is that those towers do not inspire. I don’t know if the glass they use is different or if it’s just not washed regularly, but the towers in Toronto lining along hwy 400 are all very similar and very unappealing. I think to an extent the growth is unplanned and it makes for incredibly frustrating driving, much more so than Chicago. I’m personally not a fan of this building either.

(Noticed this is my first reply. I’ve lurked on this forum for years but never posted! Lived in Montreal before and now live in Chicago. Just a fan of tall buildings!)

That base looks like it is trying to mimic the casino garage cladding.

Reminder that the first phase is bringing a grocery store. Onni has a relationship with Aldi from Old Town Park, so that would be my guess.

But once that store is in place, this whole area becomes a lot more attractive/livable and the other big projects in the area (Halsted Landing, the remainder of the casino/Trib site) start to make a lot more sense. And the new Chicago bridge will fill in a missing link in the bus lanes and should provide a much stronger transit link to River North, Michigan Ave and the Blue Line.

Given the presence of these bus lanes, the heavy utilization of the 66, and the new bus camera ticketing law, Chicago could create an actual fast E-W transit corridor here if we had the political will
