I feel like I'm alone in not liking how the bare concrete looked on this building. I feel like this collection of buildings and the others nearby being white will create a cool shift in the coloration of the skyline as it shifts south.

Wierd to think that corner lot is going to get going before the second riverline tower does. Anything going on the southend of river city?
Also looks like the 311 roofs got a paint job.

Yeah, in their defense, there is a lot of work that had to be done to fix the topography and river frontage before they could build the next few towers. I just drove past Roosevelt this morning after going to Costco and didn't notice anything on the southern end. Hope the pace starts to pick up though as well...

Much is not yet there. From what is, 2 bedrooms cap out at 1,100 square feet which is hardly luxurious. Nothing online yet for the 3 bedrooms or the Town Houses or Penthouses.

Picture from the Water Taxi today (7/20/18). Lots of earth being moved and it looks like the river walk is starting to take shape.

lol... Chicago

Here in London, 1100 square feet is a 3 bedroom of an enormous 2 bedroom.

I hope these go quickly and construction begins on another tower. This is probably the least interesting building of either the north or south portions of Riverline.

I think there are some very charming aspects to this building actually. The townhomes at the base to be specific, once everything is landscaped and the other towers are built, this will be a really, really nice area, the tower is whatever, certainly better than it's neighbors, but I agree that the other towers, with their cantilevered elements and height are going to be the crown jewels of the development.

RedCorsair87 · #**434** Posted **Aug 4, 2018, 12:30 AM**

You are correct. The base is good. I wish the tower itself was a little more dramatic. I think the whole development will be stunning once complete.

^ Wow, I'm impressed with how this one is turning out. Even though it is basically parking ramps, it looks quite graceful at the base

Kippis · #**437** Posted **Aug 28, 2018, 2:57 PM**

^ Agreed. I don't say much in these forums (as I don't readily have time to follow all the excitement these days), but hot damn. THAT is how you treat a building's parking element. Very nicely done!

I think it will be fine. The parking element treatment rocks, and the building will be toward the back of a much larger development. Why waste your design bang on something that will be in the background.

I'm actually much more concerned about what the unrelated development on the Wells/Harrison corner will do.

One down. So many more to go! How many years is this development supposed to take to complete?

Less time than it has spent as an empty lot.
