that spot can easily swallow a tower like this |
Thats going to fill in that area very well. Hopefully bringing some neighbors at that height.

^ Indeed. I am incredibly bullish on the SW Loop. Talk about incredible untapped potential. The fundamentals are as solid as they get.
My bet is that this is going to further turbocharge not only development in the immediate 2-3 block radius, but also extend south along the river and give a big shot in the arm to Southbank, Riverline, and, yes, the 78. |
Amazing renderings there rgarri!!!

Good news for the new tower, but bad news for another old loop building, like the Art Deco gem BofA is moving out of. Sounds kind of Nimby of me, but I worry the beautiful Deco towers in the Loop that could fall into disrepair. It’s hard to imagine the effort it’ll take to lease 800k sq feet if that kind of space is no longer appealing to law firms.

^ Well there is alot of talk about alot of startup technology companies taking space in the loop so maybe alot of these buildings that law firms left can be filled up by many smaller tenants

Actually O'Donnell stole both of his tenants for the Union Station tower from 111 W Monroe, the old Harris Bank Building which is an MCM gem. I would be concerned that this could mean problems for that structure and hopefully doesn't attract any yahoos looking to do radical renovations and dismantle original features of this beauty.
That's gotta sting to have someone like O'Donnell come in and poach two of your biggest tenants for the same project. O'Donnell has been dominant lately. Hopefully that means they can get started on some of the components of their project on Chicago soon. I certainly think O'Donnell has a better chance of getting going on that than Sterling Bay has of landing office tenants up in Lincoln Yards. |

Here's just a comparison of some parts: 110 N Wacker
Union Station Tower
In addition I believe the two towers will be different colors. I understand the Union Station Tower is aiming for a silver tint to the glass. So they are both predominantly glass buildings with north facing setbacks and converging columns at the base, but they have different massing and different detailing. I actually think that the Union Station Tower will be the more interesting of the two. |

I would certainly think so. LY makes precious little sense for any office of scale. Open question: Anyone hear what the timeline looks like for the Union Station hotel? Have not heard much about it recently.... |

Union Station parking garage closing
The 700-spot parking structure will permanently close on September 30, according to Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari. Amtrak is selling the property under the structure a block south of the station to make way for a 50-story office building, which will be called BMO Tower. BMO Financial Group will anchor the planned 700-foot-tall structure. https://www.chicagotribune.com/busin...hwq-story.html |
