Bentham's getting some glass, and there's a big-ass crawler on Erie (to take down the tower crane I assume?).
Up top, there doesn't seem to be any sort of mechanical penthouse or elevator overrun on the roof, so I have no idea how people who get up to the pool deck.

Yup - they took down the crane today. They had Erie blocked off all afternoon.

My plan is to frame the tiles (w/o the Legos, of course ) on my wall in such a way that I can easily/safely move it to a table for occasional viewing. They sell frames that are designed specifically for the tiles, but the largest one is for a 3x3 configuration, which is already too small for my initial collection.
As such, I'm planning on customizing a frame myself at some point. But for now, I've just put the tiles back in their display cases and stacked them in 3 rows so that they actually fit on my desk w/o taking much space.
Not that anyone has been waiting around to hear an update on this since Dec 2018, but I never did get around to really customizing a frame. However, I did purchase a NYC version to add to my Chicago collection:
How much was it for those sections of the Chicago model? Would probably wait for them to update it if they ever do. Michaels craft is having a framing sale right now (dont ask how i know that) probably not able to frame that badboy though. BTW there was a cool lego version of our city i saw somewhere online, i will try to find it.
Developer seeks approval for thousands of units on portion of Moody Bible Institute’s Near North Side campus

A Chicago developer is moving forward with ambitious plans that could bring thousands of residential units to 8 acres it plans to buy on the Near North Side from Moody Bible Institute.
If it wins support from neighborhood groups and the city, JDL Development hopes to begin the project, which could take a decade to build, by the end of next year, JDL founder and CEO Jim Letchinger said.

JDL seeks to create a master planned development allowing 3,950 residential units, 30,000 square feet of retail and 1,515 parking spaces. Those numbers are laid out in an initial response to the plan by the Department of Planning and Development.
The number of units, which could be a combination of apartments and condominiums, would be the maximum allowed but Letchinger said there will be “nowhere near that many."

Built in phases, North Union could take 7 to 10 years to complete, by which time COVID-19 should be a distant memory, Letchinger said.
That's the beauty (and half the fun) of digital models. Especially for cities like Chicago and New York who has skylines constantly growing and changing. Anything 3d printed now will be out of date in a year. Google Earth is usually 2 years behind. Knock on wood this pandemic doesn't slow things down.
