I had a feeling we'd get a redesign for the taller height. Not that I'm that disappointed; the prior design may have veered towards oppressive at a larger scale. Exposed concrete, glass, and steel slabs will still look good with a more conventional window wall.

My guess is it's still HPA. They've partnered with LG in the past quite a few times, I believe.

Rental Tower Quickly Climbing in Chicago

Quote:

Thomas Roszak Architecture's new highrise project at 215 West Lake Street in Chicago is rapidly climbing above its initial parking levels. The 33-storey development replaces a parking garage, one of many single-use structures that are steadily vanishing from the downtown core in favour of mixed-use building typologies.

The JDL proposal at Montrose and Clarendon was finally approved. It only took 5 years.

According to ChiArch JDL wants to use the Neighborhood Opportunity Bonus to increase the height of No. 9 Walton by 2 floors increasing the number of units by 4 with no increase to parking.

How does the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund get around NIMBY's? Do you have to get new approval?

This may be the best thing Rahm has done.

the urban politician · #**4459** Posted **Jun 24, 2016, 8:16 PM**

^ My guess is that NIMBYs can still block the upzonings, but creating funds to help underserved communities, a huge issue politically these days in present-day "Tale of two cities" Chicago, gives city leadership good political cover in approving these.
