Are those white blocks the same foam type stuff they used to construct the topography in Maggie Daley Park?

Cascade final height

^Love the glass, but what a weird looking tower. Two more 3-floor-tall setbacks would have gone a long way.

Very Melbourne-esque

the slight tilt off the rectangle of the larger area brings some interest

   and this is just the plumbing.        |
Saw them taking down the shorter crane today. Didn't jump it down, just dismantling the shorter crane with the taller one.

These are so good. We need more 600-800 footers in that highrise section of Streeterville it looks weird being so short compared to the rest
|
The angle makes it look like they catch the street lights exactly through the blow through hole. Pretty cool.

The last one is topped off now right?

I don't have a camera but I usually go to check out construction sites when I take walks around the city. Here's a few cell phone shots from yesterday (Dec 31).

So does Site I start when these both top off or when they completely open to the public.
|
Yimby stated it could start in 2021 or 2022, but that doesn't sound very definitive.

My outstanding question pertains to if Site I will entail both residential to own and residential to rent. This seems to be the most safe approach both financially and occupancy for projects this size.

Some seem to think site I is going to break ground as soon as construction wraps up on Cirrus and Cascade just b/c the developer said site I was the next tower to start after those two are completed. The developer simply meant site I was the next tower to break ground but not necessarily right after. Also, I believe site I is supposed to host 600 condos after the hotel portion was removed. Minus COVID, we would have been lucky to have site I break ground late 2021. I highly doubt that'll happen now. Maybe sometime in 2022. Hope I'm wrong though.

From an architectural aspect, I'm fairly unimpressed with these two towers.

Nothing more than filler.... Boring; short and completely unremarkable. This is the front door to the city. Instead of something really beautiful we got something off the shelf at home depot. IMO.
|
Look pretty good to me, much better than some of their neighbors in LSE. Also we gain the connection to the lakefront with this also.
|
I think the proportions are off, they appear short and stubby. For such a prominent site, Magellan probably could have done better. Lets hope Site I dazzles us and draws the eye away from these ;)
