Also, will this be the world's tallest data center? (Or at least outside of China?)

No, if you count the telecom hotels in NYC.

14th and Wabash looks like a shittier and shorter version of Elysian.

Welcome FrankLloyd, and nice update Solar! You were so close to capturing the progress at 725 W Randolph. I drove by yesterday to see the entire lot wiped clean of any structure and an excavator on site. Did anyone else catch this?

Hope the design stays the same.

I believe this is the same project. 18 stories, 300 apartments:

The rig was positioned just north of of the McDonald’s drive thru, over the fence. A better address for the parking lot might be 235 N Ogden.

From this morning. Looks to be a little over half way up.

The developer is using the address of 1375 W. Fulton Market. Apparently the "Fulton Market" designation ends at Elizabeth St, though, so he may have to go with the slightly less-sexy "1375 W. Fulton Street". I'm sure there will be a spirited discussion at CDOT...

It's funny that the owner spent some money building a pretty nice, landscaped parking lot just last year, only to turn around and propose a 18-story highrise.

I really hope this one happens. I love the design. (725 w. Randolph)

Hopefully working from scratch they come up with something better than 111 W Wacker
