...aren't the "move-ins" supposed to be starting now? ....or have they been moved back?

So, with the apparent strength of the city's apartment market, what do you think the chances are for the larger tower next door? It would be amazing to have that tower under construction.

^If all the good news about Chicago and Illinois lately is to be believed, there is a very good chance this tower will be built. I think the biggest factor will be how soon can this tower be filled to a level that is satisfactory to investors so they second can begin.

When you're in love, you just know it :D

Joking aside, I do sometimes wish I could just walk/bike/drive around the city taking pictures as a job... alas an office is my ball and chain for now

I was in Chicago last week and got a couple good shots of Nema. One includes her father, Sears/Willis Tower.

so, is it just to catch falling equipment?

^I don't think so... they must have spent a significant amount of $$ engineering and installing the two sails to withstand all of the wind up there... There is a part of me that is afraid that they might be semi-permanent... will somebody who contacts the sales team ask?

I just cannot get enough of looking at this building, it turned out so well. I love that glass. I've said before that I'm not a big fan of twin buildings, but I would definitely take another, taller NEMA. We've gotten some real gems this cycle.

Solo has never looked so good!

Is it me or is there trees on top of Somi without foliage?

homebucket Jun 7, 2019 5:00 PM

Beautiful tower!

trvlr70 Jun 7, 2019 6:06 PM

Now if we can just get the taller twin done next door!!!

I hate to push the envelope here, but is there any word on said twin tower??? :D

KWillChicago Jun 7, 2019 9:23 PM

Straight up a Chicago building. When that fourth building borders off grant park, whether it's a twin but at least taller, those shots are going to be epic. And hopefully we will get an even tower than the fourth in that dreadful jewel lot. As for the triangle sails, lets hope those get taken down. That goes for that tacky NEMA sign on the lower half. Sobebody rent those floors so they are taken down.
