That style looks really out of place there. Would look better in Arlington Heights, or other older areas. Around the mall, it sticks out poorly.

Looks like a Pokemon style pre-evolution of Park Tower.

Honestly, I wish this design could swap places with the one just proposed for Dearborn and Oak. At least it doesn't have the HORRENDOUS mansard roof with the unexplainable four toothpicks sticking up from it, and it feels slightly more "cohesive" (if you can ever call a Lagrange design cohesive) than the Dearborn/Oak design.
That being said, they're both still atrocious. |
If anyone is wondering what the top of the building looks like, here's a few images from Lagrange's website.

I'm really in support of growth in the big outer suburbs to be honest, not sprawling growth but downtown development in Aurora, Joliet, Elgin, Waukegan as well as in near suburbs like Oak Park, Evanston, and Blue Island. I'm also for growth in other fringe suburbs that have a lot of space between neighborhood developments, like Orland Park, Mokena, Plainfield, etc just to fill them out. it would be best if they also found a way to connect the neighborhoods through bike and pedestrian paths that could connect to a more urban center, since often times sidewalks aren't present along major roads. or maybe just design new suburbs as a connected whole rather than separate neighborhood exclaves. all of this would make Chicagoland feel even more like a megalopolis with multiple smaller urban focuses which all contribute to the main city.

it looks like anyone still holding out a vain hope that we might see evanston one day build a new tallest building for its skyline can finally let go of that little dream. evanston has decided that is does not want to be a tall building city, and developers are now walking away.

That's a bummer. Looks like Oak Park will be taking more of a leading role in the burbs when it comes to height with new construction...

Downtown Elmhurst Update - 4-13-18 100 N Addison. This is under construction now making good progress. http://i68.tinypic.com/1zb5ri9.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/1ijxom.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/2eppth3.jpg Also, across the tracks from this, the lot at the SE corner of Cottage Hill and Park Avenues has been cleared. Looks like it may have been sold and is zoned for 6 stories. Bring on some more TOD! http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/105-S...st-IL/5976933/ |
