Another article on the Century/Consumers buildings. I hope they can get creative and come up with a good plan that is both safe and saves these buildings.
There has continuously been a 1000-something S Wabash building under construction seemingly for the last 20 years.
Looks like we might have another one in the works

Colin Kihnke’s CMK Companies signaled where it could pursue its next big South Loop development.
An LLC sharing an address with the Chicago developer expanded its development site portfolio with a $5.5 million purchase across two respective deals for land at 1624-1704 South Wabash Avenue last month, Cook County public records show. The seller of both parcels was a trust whose beneficiaries are unclear from the records.
Good! That's a pretty ratty block of Wabash still, especially on the west side. The east side has Fred Anderson Park though which is a great amenity. A new tower there should help block noise from the L too, which is good.
Would be nice to see the South Loops attract HQ's and things akin to that like the West Loop so it isn't so sleepy. So much development there yet things aren't clicking
I've been out of the loop on this Fulon area so just a few questions if you guys got a minute.
1. Was anything ever proposed for the site just east of 360 N. Green next to Halsted?
2. Is the tower on the demolished Coyne College site still a go or was that scratched?
3. What's the target opening date for the Guiness building?
