I think the crane in your first picture is Superior House, Harry. The 353 W Grand tower has a red crane, right?
I know Grand's base is red - and yea might be Superior house.

The transformation of this block (bounded Randolph/Michigan/Lake/Wabsh) over the past 10-15 years is pretty cool. Used to be dingy fast food restaurants, parking garages, a big vacant mid-rise. Now it's got hotels, restaurants, residential high rises... a good microcosm of what this mega-cycle has done for the city as a whole.
This demo is for the Roszak project, right? Crazy that the mid-block project (MDA City Apts - Phase 2) has not started yet. It looks like the demo crews are using that lot for stockpiling, though.

just wish what was going here was a little more quality architecture and height for this location
Demo building permit issued for 1043 W Fulton Market which is the (proposed) future home of a 147 foot tall hotel part of the whole Hartshorne Plunkard HQ build. This is just a few hundred feet from the Google/SRAM building.
Wow! I'm digging both of those. The second one looks like something you'd see in NYC with that curved glass.
I would argue that it doesn't, but to each their own. I guess maybe if you're talking about near the High Line, but then again not really. The ones around the High Line look much better. But this one still looks OK to me.

Checked and yes - the white boom is Superior House - the moon blocker on Grand has a red boom.
