Grant is going to look grand!
|
That's a pretty good spot for the building. One Museum Park looks kind of detached from over there. It'll be like a separate skyline of sorts, like in Atlanta where there are a few smaller areas with skyscrapers as opposed to one big downtown.

Nice work. Chicago is due for some high-rise activity southward...If my direction is right.
I mean...The only thing east of the city is water, basically. |
That is some nice work there... keep it up!
|
Thanks so much for sharing those. I can tell it's a great deal of work, and something I would love to be able to do if I had the ability. But I don't, so that's really great to have. Very appreciated
|
Gret job and if both towers of OGP are built it's going to look like one massive building, specially from the east or west!
Thank you for the rendering! |

Your models have eased one of my biggest fears with OGP/2GP. I was afraid they would look too boxy and imposing, especially the huge base they have along Roosevelt. But they look very well proportioned here. An excellent cap to the south wall of Grant Park. |

That blank wall looks terrible with or without painting. Cannot believe the city approved that. We have to wait until the next tower gets built, wich could end up being years.
|
^What provision of state law do you think permits cities to regulate blank walls?
|
I am sure they will cover it with something like an ad saying please spend way to much money to rent one of our MANY unoccupied apts.
|
Well.. it would make a nice revenue generator.
|
Even when a new building goes up, it's still an eyesore. Like Vista isn't really hiding the Regata turd that well.
Anyway, i don't think this person is a NIMBY, they're just a little sensible. Telling developers 'no blank walls' wouldn't deter serious development, and if it pushes out the hacks, so what. |

A mural would be a great idea for a building that wouldn't erase the artist's work to put in a Phase 2 three years later.

Its crazy driving down Columbus and seeing this in person and how big of a hulk it is going to be. Even crazier is imagining it and its big brother and how they are going to overwhelm everything south of Roosevelt. Their going to look like red woods in an apple orchard.

Not that it bothers me in the least, but the corner units to the south of this lost one hell of a view!
|
What a behemoth
|
Great pics Harry, BVic!
Anyone have any idea when we might start seeing glass go up? |
What’s the construction phasing/schedule for the second tower? Or would they sell all of these before building that one?
|
I could be talking out my ass but i could have sworn i read an article that said their interested in starting tower 2 by late 2019. I also believe they were talking about something taking over the most expensive gas station in the country the BP down the street. It could be all speculative bullshit but if i remember where i read it i'll try to post it and see if you guys can verify.

Has anyone seen prints/drawings for the plan of this? I searched around but couldn't find anything. I'm curious about the length of that east wall--it looks gigantic.
