Liking the bold yellow touches at 800 Lake. Hints of Jahn and Hovey.

The 1201 Fulton site is up for sale. That's a shame, I really liked the design.:

Fulton Street Cos. lists development site
Firm initially planned 433-unit apartment building on property

Fulton Street Cos. is ready to hand off its plans for a large apartment building, in an unusual move for the developer.

The firm tapped CBRE to sell 1201 West Fulton Street, where it had planned to build a 433-unit, 32-story rental tower on the 0.9 acre site, according to an online listing.

^ I think Real Deal has some old info. CoStar said yesterday the developer reconsidered selling their 1201-15 W Fulton site, but they will sell 1325 W Randolph. There's also a pending permit for 1201-15 W Fulton

Fulton St. Cos. has hired brokers at SVN Chicago to seek a buyer for the 15,950-square-foot site at 1325 W. Randolph St., Fulton St. founder and CEO Alex Najem told CoStar News.
....
Fulton St. also recently had a CBRE broker marketing its site at 1201-1215 W. Fulton for sale after receiving interest from buyers. But Najem said the firm no longer wants to sell that site, where the firm plans a 32-story, 433-unit apartment tower.

If you only look at the the curb cuts on Lake Street, yes. But it also adds a curb cut for the currently closed off alley from the north side of the property onto Halsted, so the total remains the same. (See "Site Connections" on page 24)

The study 2 height and massing would have been my pick.

370 N. Morgan will have 482 units and 142 parking spaces and rise 35 floors & 399’

400 N. Morgan will have 478 units, rise 41 floors & 450'

401 N. Morgan will be Phase II and have 480 units and rise 475'

TOTAL: 1440 units (approximately)

-$7.4 million in annual property tax revenue will be generated when all three towers built out

-$5 million in annual property tax revenue for the first two towers of Phase 1

-11.2 FAR

-$13.9 million for Neighborhood Opportunity Bonus

-The developers would like to go before plan commission sometime this summer and perhaps break ground in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2024.

Really love the base on that project. Towers are nice as well, but the base makes it. Love the brickwork and the not-so-subtle nods to Prarie style textures and columns.

Block Club says it'll be 45 floors, might be worth making a thread for this project

290 affordable units is pretty substantial. I don't see how Burnett and city hall can not approve this project.

I wish a developer would propose a condo tower that doesn't have 20 floors of amenities and the associated $2000 per month in association fees. Maybe a slight exaggeration but it has become absolutely ridiculous these days. I'd be in the market for a new construction condo downtown but I don't care to pay insane HOA fees for a golf simulator, indoor lap pool, sauna, fitness classes, and demo kitchen. Keep that gimmicky shit in the luxury apartment buildings where you just bake it into the rent. Of course developers will advertise much lower HOA fees until they unload the burden onto enough owners who will quickly see their HOA fees increase by 50% for the next 10 years - I'm not falling for that bullshit.

Am I alone here?

these amenity-light buildings are pretty common
