This is a great point, Donnie. The only criticism of this tower that I can see is that it's not another 200 feet (at least). Besides that, it's going to be an incredibly prominent tower. It's going to look fantastic.

I wish someone would develop that parking lot at Fulton and Canal to fill in that gap at the end of the main stem of the river.

On the contrary, then the river will become a true boxed canyon and look incredibly compressed and short. Even SalesForce is sadly diminishing the the open, airy feeling of the river which currently is an open canyon with amazing light and atmospheric effects at sunset and late afternoon. Enjoy it while you can because it's going to change dramatically and not for the better I'm afraid.

That barge sailed years ago - 2009 to be exact.

Or put a tall one at halsted/Fulton on that parking lot. Easily could fit a 50-story there

It's like they know just when we're starting to run out of buildings to watch be constructed here on SSP

Does anyone know if there's a webcam/OxBlue for this project? Working my sources, but am interested in a cam around the confluence to track river ice...for photo purposes.

Well this is good news:

https://www.chicagotribune.com/colum...j6u-story.html


Much more minor, but on the other hand, I suspect the chances are slipping fast for one of those 1-3 floor boosts that many large Chicago office towers have gotten in recent years either around groundbreaking or in the relatively early stages of construction.

That's good. I think you'll see more companies adopt their strategy of partial remote work, but not fully. This way employees are still kind of anchored to a particular city while they work there. Time zone differences become very important when you are working with all sorts of teams. Companies who talk about full WFH strategy will still face this reality ultimately. It can be brutal, for example, to work on projects when the project is based on eastern time but you live in San Francisco. That's the situation from my team, and all of the SF people who are required in various 9am meetings are required to be on..at 6am their time every single day.

The way they're structuring this basically says sure work from home twice a week but the other 3 days you better be in Chicago which ultimately is good for the region regardless.

Another article from yesterday as a follow-up to the one above. Hines is stating that their leasing efforts on the tower are behind by a good 18 months as a result of the pandemic. My take is that they are obviously behind, however that may be an exaggeration as of present at least. (managing expectations?)...given we're only a year into the pandemic (in terms of significant impacts within the US.

I've pointed this out before, and it very well looks like this might be quite fortuitous for this tower given covid: this project has always had a very long timeline. IIRC I think it's more-or-less always been scheduled to deliver around mid-2023. That's ~2.4 years from today and the core is already probably 175' high with steel now going up. Perhaps some more complex site work might here get you up to 3-4 mo. max? more than similar scale office towers, but that doesn't explain the deviation here.

At any rate, this additional 2-3 quarters should help w leasing!
