That's only because the podiums are facing the train. Plus they cut the head off of Niche 905, which exacerbates how bad their podium already looks. I think North Union, on the other hand, are creating a great street presence.

There's not a great rendering of it with the updated designs but it looks very similar to their original renderings.

Holy moly. Is this not huge news?

Some of those 'coming soon' dates for the ~400' towers are in 2024-2025. Meaning they'd have to break ground by next year no?? And then not long after for the 600 footers.

Until recently this was their timeline (which to be fair I thought was kinda ridiculously long)

If you click the dots next to the proposed buildings, it gives a timeline. The tallest towers say 2025-2026.

The land between the tracks and Orleans is vacant, so something will eventually get built there and obscure the views of the podium.

If the rental market continues as it has been for the last year (and that seems likely given the macro trends) it makes sense for jdl to move the timelines up if that is indeed what they're doing. My most recent rental vacancy (about a month ago) had 8 showings and 3 applications within 24 hours of being on the market. And I thought I was being greedy with a 20% rent increase... :shrug:

20% is huge, while i hope the market continues to be hot, lets not normalize these huge jumps in rent and end up with some even more serious housing issues in the city.

Would have been interesting if those lots could have also been acquired and incorporated by spanning over the L... not sure if Cta would ever grant/sell air rights for something like that... talk about cool though.

marothisu May 8, 2022 4:57 PM

I love JDL because they dont seem to mess around with starting on projects. I'm pretty sure all their more recent projects started construction the very day they got a building permit. Nothing bothers me more than getting a building permit, then having a ceremonial groundbreaking a month later followed by actual construction 2 months after that.

They did it for Rush hospital and the IIT campus center, both private institutions.

Somehow the CBOT skybridge over the L at Van Buren had to be shut down for terrorism reasons, though.

Or like when the Brown line used to go through the Keebler cookie factory in Old Town. I miss that.

It’s very very on trend right now whether or not it’s good design is another question.

Back in the early to mid 2000’s where there was curving facades, especially many towers in the south loop. I had a few friends who had condos in these types of buildings. Not great where you got the unit where a column was 2’ in from the window. Made for awkward placement of living room furniture. No architects are doing that anymore.

Given JDL's typical permit to construction timeline, that means the crane should be arriving approximately today. :shrug:

BrinChi May 19, 2022 3:44 AM

Since those are the last phase, I would assume those buildings are placeholders.

Some more of construction and fencing.

The feel of this section of Near North has been changing really fast - eg with the recent 3 projects along along Chicago Ave, as well as OCS, Bush Temple, AMLI, Eight O Five, Aurelien, and Atrium Village in the last few years. It's going to feel completely different once these start rising yet again. Also 311 W Huron kicking off and now 739 N Wells about to be demo'd. Then there's there's the casino...

IMO eventually this whole area will congeal with the River District and development on the south end of Goose Island and have a bit of it's own identity, kinda like Old Town. Methinks/hopes that an improvement in neighborhood feel and rentals in this are may help popularize the neighborhood and expedite those developments a bit.

It feels like Chicago Ave has finally grown up and is going to become a bit more busy. And I think this will link everything a bit more to Milwuakee and Wicker Park. Its exciting to see developments filling in gaps between activity centers in the city and things starting to feel a bit more contiguous.

3 demo permits were issued for 210-232 W Chestnut/859 N Franklin. These are a few 1 and 2 story buildings https://www.google.com/maps/place/85...3!4d-87.635464)

232 W Chestnut is supposed to be 5 stories at 70 feet tall, while 871 N Franklin will be 4 stories at 50 feet tall. Existing 3 story building at Franklin & Locust will get a 4th floor added on and be adaptively re-used (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8990...7i16384!8i8192)

Can you provide a source? This would be highly devastating to a perfect design. Like seriously, just leave the sh^t as is when the project was originally announced. :hell:

Booo! At least they're renovating the lowrise warehouse. The delivery timeline for this section was 2023-2024, but looks like they want to finish this sooner rather than later.

rivernorthlurker Jul 16, 2022 7:25 AM

I've seen blander...

From the article.

Quote:

232 W Chestnut Street, the next structure in this phase, will be a five-story structure rising 70 feet in height. Holding 35 residential units, the building will utilize a mass-timber structure and be clad in a steel structure facade. Residences will be larger in size and have corner balconies. The final building of the first phase will be 871 N Franklin Street, an existing building that comprises four floors that rise 50 feet tall. Formerly the Nealy Printing Company, the masonry and limestone structure will be adaptively reused with a glass addition creating a fifth floor.
From rgarri's render it looks like 232 is getting the boot. Wonder if the new structure still uses timber... 871 still looks similar to before though.

Based on the article, it sounds like the original design is still in play. I think the picture is just a bad render.

These are the newest renders for the 2 taller towers in phase 1/2, which match the glassy low rise versions renders. So I'd say the glassy low rise is probably close to the final product, as that render seems otherwise accurate.
