^ Hopefully soon.

I mean, if this starts this summer it won't be completed till summer 2022 at the earliest, well beyond pandemic related issues.

Well, most would assume either a vaccine or herd immunity would be reached by then. Alternatively, like most things that have a .02% chance of killing you, we compartmentalize it and move on with our lives. Someone's gonna take the gamble that it all blows over eventually, since it's not like people are going to be living like we have been for eternity.

Despite all the doom and gloom, it does appear that the real-estate developers are betting on this blowing over. Here is to hoping they are right.

Have some inside information from Related and it looks like this one is going to wait a while. They said that they are likely going to seek another change in entitlement due to shifting market forces. So this current design probably isn't going to be the final one. Seems like Related is going to take its time with this which kinda stinks.

That's rarely a good sign.

We seem to be nearing the end of a cycle (which hopefully lasts another couple years), so maybe normal or expected?

From the 900 W Randolph page, looks like Bonsai Tree's source is accurate. Unfortunately, this likely means RIP to the current 725 W Randolph design

Other than this cycle getting a bit long in the tooth, any reason to think it may be coming at an end? Seems like the housing market is currently on fire, although that's a pandemic related anomaly (deferred activity from last year, people flush with government cash & high savings rates from 2020, reassessment of living spaces, etc.). While its going to be a temporary phenomenon that will slow down to more normal activity levels sometime next year, that itself won't necessarily lead to a housing slump/crash IMHO.

Not necessarily. They could decide to move forward with the office midrise independently. The shared underground garage makes that a little tricky to do, but they could elect to build the garage with column stubs for the residential/hotel tower to plug in later.

Demolition under-way at 724 W Washington. Hopefully making way for construction to start.

Is the bank staying? I can't recall. If not, we'll also need to wait for that to go before we can hope for a start on the new buildings.
