of the Chicago High-rise Boom thread. - Here’s a link to the previous version of this page:
After a prolonged dip in development and construction during the leanest years of the Global Recession, the construction boom is back in full effect - while clearly not (yet) as prolific as the early 2000s, highrise activity has picked up considerably since 2013. Click on the individual building names to be taken to the corresponding Phorio building page to learn more and see pics/renderings. You can also click on the word “website” at the end of each building entry line in the list to be taken to the official project website to learn even more and for developer/marketing contact information. The buildings are ranked according to the structural height per the guidelines of Phorio. Where no roof height is listed, it is either unknown or the structural height and the roof height are one and the same.
- The 'Recently Completed' list will primarily reflect the new construction boom - the previous list is still accessible in version 6 of this rundown.
- Individual skyscraper thread links have been moved to the bottom of the rundown and will be updated to reflect current construction projects, plus new and forthcoming proposals.
- the 'Proposed' section of renderings has a status next to each project, whether they are 'Active' or 'Dormant' proposals. Any dormant proposals that are cancelled will be removed from the Boom rundown.
Please feel free send a private message or directed post in the thread for any updates or modifications to the page 1 list. A concerted effort will be made to make sure page 1 is always up to date.
