Damn, I thought for sure that one would fade away. But I'm happy to see it moving forward - it is literally right next to the Ashland L stop, and it is the only TOD-eligible site around that stop unless you cross Ogden. North of Lake is a PMD, west of Ashland is all owned by CHA and other government agencies.
This will also be the first highrise to overlook Union Park, which is pretty cool, and it faces south so half the units will have guaranteed sunlight forever.
I always thought Marquette would build on the 1400 W Randolph site first - it's less gritty/industrial and sits next to a gym, yoga studio, Michelin restaurants, etc.
