Hey guys and dolls....

Does anyone know which project the RED tower crane (far distance) is being utilized for? I took this a few weeks back (South Loop) facing towards the south.

Thanks!

Lexington Park?

hmmmmmm.... I'd say that's a good guess TUP.

But it seems too tall and too far south to be Lexington Park??? Difficult to judge distances like this.

Lexington Park.

You guys are absolutely right. It is Lexington Park. It's way down on Cermak and Wabash and seeing the crane while driving up LSD you realize this tower will have a big impact on the skyline. Coming up LSD the crane is well to the left of all the its neighbors.

That stretch of Cermak is makin' mighty big changes the last couple of years.

Hope they like the smell of chocolate. Sugar waiting outside of Blomers.

If you're ever in the area, take a look in the background of the rendering they posted at K Station. There are some pretty nonsensical building positions, I got a kick out of it.

Also, I just realized how MUCH of this P/H Neo-Deco we're getting. There's

Two River Place
River Place on the Park
Michigan Avenue Tower I
Michigan Avenue Tower II
Vision on State
Des Plaines at K Station
Alta at K Station
Vector at K Station

and, although it's a little different from the others,

530 North Lake Shore Drive

Is the park sloping up to match desplaines grade, I'm sorry if it's not desplaines, but shitty renderings are confusing my sense of direction with this site
