I like it. I'll almost be on the favorable side with brick, and this building has a touch of colonial to it. Not awe inspiring, but good enough.

In addition to the new residential tower proposed for State and Elm and DRW's renewed interest in building a hotel tower on the Cedar Hotel parcel. I can't believe that through this all, that fugly Subway/psychic building still stands.
Not too excited about J Crew and Timberland as retailers, I hope those are just placeholder names. I am more excited about the top project. Is that some sort of multilevel dept store?

The buildings look great, but one thing worries me about the Maple & State one. It looks as if some or all of those old nice buildings to the west of State would be demolished for this new building? I think those are great buildings and most of them should be staying. Also, I thought the owner of the Hunt Club tore it down to build a more upscale lounge/bar there. I guess this isn't happening anymore? Looks like retail on the first level instead.
Also about the gas station thing - it's not a terrible design, just was hoping for something more modern. Now that people do mention it though, it does have a very subtle colonial influence to it.

Does this mean that "maple and Ash" building is dead? Also are we knocking down that row of buildings immediately west of this lot? That would suck.
Wow, isn't maple and state the old hunt club site? What a drastic redesign from the earlier proposal.
Yep, which is what I alluded to and Prelude was talking about Maple & Ash. That first floor looks like retail, and Maple & Ash was supposed to be a 2 floor restaurant/bar (http://www.chicagorealestatedaily.co...ger-restaurant)
I would hope some nightlife comes to the new building, but I'm actually more concerned of those old, nice buildings directly west being torn down. That would NOT be good.
Oh yeah, just noticed those may be toast. Really wish those would stay. That's why I liked the original maple and ash proposal because it would make that narrow building more difficult to tear down and redevelop.

Pretty much correct. The new building will include a restaurant/entertainment component on the 4th and 5th floor. I think I mentioned months ago about the demo-delay on those older buildings to the west; the enlarged footprint of this new proposal now explains why. Still not sure why the Subway building is a hold out on that block.

I really wish the subway/psychic building would be torn down instead of those NICE old buildings to the west. What the hell are people thinking? ugh.. Perfect opportunity to get rid of some shit buildings (subway one) and keep the good ones (i.e. the one with Corepower in it), but nope, the other way around of course..
On a related note, tenants out on the ground floor of 122 s michigan and a walgreens rumored to be moving in.
Tenants that left are Bennigans, an art gallery, au Bon pain, a shoe shine place, and a convenience store. No idea if falafill will remain as it sits in the original Adams entrance of the building.
Bennigans is leaving that coveted spot across from the Art Institute? Walgreens seems to have a thing for being right next to or inside of important things.
Chicago Fire Soccer dome going into a vacant lot along the river in North Center. The "dome" is an air-supported dome and not any sort of permanent stadium structure. The structure will also include 15000 sq ft for offices and retail.
Looks like it will mostly be used for Recreational leagues and the occasional team practice

Like the idea a lot. Don't like the location. Ideally I would like to see nearly all parts of the river redeveloped for residential use where practical with a public ROW along the banks.
That far north the river is just a small overgrown creek. It's not scenic or attractive to look at. I don't see what the appeal is. Lake Michigan is much more scenic.
