Wow and I thought I had a sweet deal. Where do you live that they were so into it?

Holy shit I need to get in on this action!

I have doubts a location would be used often though. |
Georgia has extremely generous (30 percent) tax credits for film productions (it's not that Illinois taxes film production more; we just don't bribe the producers as heavily). I found it really distracting when watching AMC's Halt and Catch Fire. I could sort of believe the Atlanta suburbs standing in for Dallas—but not for Silicon Valley.

This one is turning out more elegant than the renderings. Nice last shot, Harry.

please stay on topic folks. this thread is not the appropriate place to debate the international relevance of chicago landmarks. |

Not sure where people got the idea that Illinois is one of the highest film taxing cities. I haven't heard about high taxes, but I know they have very generous tax credits. |

Another (more critical, IMO) difference is that Georgia's tax credit applies to out-of-state workers, whereas Illinois' credits apply only to Illinois residents. Given our existing film infrastructure and state finances, this is the right path for our state. More here: http://www.chicagobusiness.com/artic...ilm-production |

Thats going to look so sick from that view, Adler, if 1000M gets going with Essex and OGP.

The scaffold is completely out of the large winter garden space. It looks massive! Also some of the metal panels have been stripped of the protective cover. The color is silver and looks good with the green glass. You can see it better on the back side of the building right now. This thing is going to be a stunner!
|
Awesome pics, BVic! Thanks for braving the craptastic weather to get them!

Damn, Essex and 1000M really add some bulk to the skyline. There is a noticeable height gap between Roosevelt and Congress when viewing from the east. These two definitely help to address that.

The winter garden at Essex on the Park by YoChicago, on Flickr When it's completed, this is likely to be the most dramatic indoor amenity space in a residential building in Chicago. The eastern part of the space will have an indoor pool and panoramic views over Grant Park. Nano walls will seasonally open the north and side ends of the space to the outdoors |

Damn. Sick pic :cheers:

That view blows my mind why more peolpe aren't trying to redevelop those mich ave buildings into luxury highrises like legacy. Oh, except for alderman, nimbys, costs, tax and....ect. C'mon 1000m, i hope you pull through.

But I like it the way it is. Lots of historic buildings, very Chicago. Gritty and urban. You can’t replicate that in Dallas or Atlanta |

This thing is starting to fly. Estimated top-off? Very late 2018?

Can't wait to see what the winter garden glass looks like!! |
^ Is that a one story parking garage?
|
This is gonna end up looking very Wolf Point West, huh. Wish it was lighter.
|
This thing is already half way up, i think May!

Does Essex own that garage? It be good for them for protected west views, but that would be a great lot to develop.
|
Yeah - this is only a few floors away from being half way done regarding floor count. It'll probably be topped out in late spring/early summer.
|
Floor 22 and core from 24 to 25 pours tomorrow. Not quite half way... top off will be in July. Glass looks good up close.
