The financial side of the project

Tough hood - note the (slur ?) next to the rendering - K2.0 [ it does look like the much maligned K2]

^ That's hilarious. Architecture critique tag. Love it.

^ Cut and paste. I bet they charged a lot to cut and paste the same design. Architects in Chicago can make a killing. My architect is a good guy but all he does is charge thousands of dollars to submit cookie cutter, halfway thought out drawings, 90% of which were already developed long ago and are simply imported into drawings. Examples include details about deck structure, or how wall and ceiling joist framing interacts, etc

No more cookie-cutter floors for 215 W. Lake. Looks like this floor is on two levels - I'm guessing it's for an amenity level? Photo taken around 11:45 today (10/10):

is that all-wood framing in Oak Park? looks like Charlotte or something

Oak Park uses IBC, which allows combustible (wood) midrises above a non-combustible (concrete) commercial/parking podium, up to six stories total. These buildings are typically sprinklered to control fire risk. Generally IBC allows certain kinds of buildings to be constructed more cheaply than Chicago Building Code.

So yes, they are building the same way they would in Charlotte, Minneapolis, or countless other cities. Here's a neat overview (it's DC focused but still relevant for Oak Park and most other Chicago burbs).
