Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification.

They should start soon, then. Has anyone heard anything about pre-sales? At this rate, I don't know if 2018 is realistic.

Relax. When stuff starts moving you know it'll get posted. They're not trying to put up a three-flat.

I don't understand how the same person designed this and the conceptual tower to save his Thompson Center. I don't hate it but it doesn't represent Jahn's abilities at all and I hope he's still working on it.

Can we make a seperate thread for the Thompson Center?

There's nothing to create. It's just empty speculation, and all the references to the Thompson Center in this thread are about this tower.

To be fair to Jahn (and I say this as someone who hates most of his work) his original design for the lot was amazing, but this design was the fallback after they couldn't get approval for the 1000 footer

Haha, like I said, I'm no fan of Jahn. I'm still referring to this as 600 N Fairbanks 2.0 since the design(including the weak attempt at a cantilevered edge) is almost identical. Jahn went full lazy mode

Client hasn't paid Jahn so all design work has stopped.

Good, means this project might be close to dead. Kill kill kill!

Posted this in the wrong thread by mistake. Not bad for my first post

http://www.chicagotribune.com/busine...119-story.html

According to this article from January 19, "Groundbreaking [for 1000M] is expected in 2018, with a target completion date of 2021, according to Robert Singer of New York-based Time Equities, co-developer with JK Equities."

I noticed this image in the header of that site. Thought I should post it

It actually looks really nice from that angle.

what's up Jahn making his images black and white.

That skyline shot is going to look dramatically different in 5 years when/if all of these projects are completed. Vista adding to the right side and all the South Loop projects adding to the left.

KWILLSKYLINE · #**558** Posted **Jan 25, 2017, 12:43 AM**

How sick would that shot be if one day Hilton decides to build a vertical tower extension like Legacy. Not even sure if its possible but that blank spot is just begging for a tower.

They'd have to demo their parking structure at Balbo & Wabash.

There are a number of opportunities to add a few standout towers, especially with the parking lots that line Wabash from Congress to 10th.

Did you hear this from someone at Jahn?
