Yes. All the units or almost all the units have been purchased and people have been living in it since at least early summer 2016

I kinda wish all the cranes would have those christmas lights on them year round. Yeah, it looks a bit "Vegas-ish" and tacky but with the amount of cranes up, and going up in the near future, it would really cool to see all them at night in a panorama if your on a roof or a balcany.

Alta Roosevelt (801 South Financial) has a bit of glass.

That raw cement with glass looks NICE! Are there any buildings that have an exterior like this without a facade?

The Contemporaine on N. Wells comes to mind.

River Point is open. So is 720 N. LaSalle. The rendering for the McHugh Hotel is obsolete, much better image here.

Randomguy34 · #**6371** Posted **Jan 13, 2017, 8:06 PM**

675 N. Wells is nearing site prep stage

Also, since Skyscraperpage says "For the purpose of this website a highrise is considered to be a building of at least 12 storeys or a multi-floored building at least 35 meters tall", should we start adding buildings that aren't 12 stories, but well above 35 m (~115 ft), on our forum list? There are a good number of planned West Loop/Fulton Market buildings that fit this bill

Just wanted to say thanks for the updates danielschell, always nice to see another photog contributing here. Nice shots of projects I don't get to swing by in person very often.

675 N Wells is still not on the first page, despite that being mentioned like, I don't know, 10 times in the past week.

KWILLSKYLINE · #**6376** Posted **Jan 14, 2017, 11:16 AM**

Is 808 Wells postponed or on the verge of dead. I know alot of people here didnt care for it but I like the roof. Plus they could do some cool lighting on it.

Mapping the 44 high-rises under construction in Chicago right now (BY JAY KOZIARZ AND AJ LATRACE): http://chicago.curbed.com/maps/chica...nstruction-map

Pretty cool map. With renderings + info to back it up. Some missing, but a good idea of the current boom. May 2017 bring even more!

Freefall · #**6378** Posted **Jan 14, 2017, 6:32 PM**

Some interesting renderings of the Riverline greenspace that I hadn't seen before on their website. They make it hard to clip the pics, so I'll just link to the site: http://www.riverlinechicago.com/
