EXACTLY!

Its 2019 and we still have those exposed eye sore train tracks/train yard cutting right thru the park. Cover them up!
And Colombus Ave seems to cut that park in half....wish we had more of a Central Park vibe going on here. From the aerial view its so sad looking.

Those photos make me dream of the day that they 1) bury the tracks and 2) narrow Columbus Ave back down to the narrow boulevard it should be, rather than basically being a divided highway running through an urban park. It should be at most two lanes in each direction, including turning lanes, with no parking. And closed to traffic most of the time like the Drives in Central Park. Then make Jackson and Balbo one way with two lanes.

You couldn’t be more correct! I’m so sick of seeing those tracks disrupt what should otherwise be beautiful!

I'm sad to see this crane go down

100% definitively no cube
if they were insane enough to leave that AC unit and window cleaning crane exposed i'd make it my life's mission to cover it up

all heavy lifting will now be done by the skips

Damn, bummer.. Still a great building though.

They did a heck of a job enclosing this one. I feel like it was caught up to concrete in no time and other than the skip it looks 95%+ enclosed. Kudos to those two crews. They flew.

This really did turn out fantastic. Sometimes simplicity really is better.

I almost don't even want the twin - I like it by itself!

Ask and you shall receive

Depends. If the second building is meant to be taller then I would want to see an equally simple design. If it’s shorter then it doesn’t matter so much.

K i know this an old render but anyone notice at the top of Nema there seems to be shaded glass panels at the top corners of every column! The fact that they rise higher than setbacks tells me it's not just paint! How neat would they look if they where lights? :shrug:

One day in the not too distant future, those modern window cleaning devices will be retractable (or are they?). As it is now...modern day water tank.

I feel like this building is like our version of Metlife Building in Ny lol

Is there a way to just look at unit floor plans and pricing without filling out a contact form? Everything I try just leads me to their "sign up" page.

SIGSEGV Apr 12, 2019 5:32 PM
At least before, their floorplans was working for me and showed prices. Can't check at the moment though...

Maybe the site's broken, but on the page headed:

Explore available units, compare floor plans, and make an appointment to view NEMA Chicago.

There's a dropdown to choose unit size, and all that does is populate that entry on the "send me information" form.

There are bunch of other dropdowns for size, features, etc. But none of those do anything.

HomrQT Apr 12, 2019 7:47 PM
This appears to have floorplans and photos of the units.

It's a good angle, but most here(me included) find the best perspective to be from the South(McCormick Center and nearby)

cozy Apr 14, 2019 10:08 PM
the building looks so much better without a crane (you will rarely read those words posted from this account, i'm a true construction fan).

but damn, its all coming together. i was admiring it in the snow today, it is such a chicago building. thanks for that pic, chris. im assuming you touched it up because those colors really pop, looks great

Haven't shot NEMA much, but finally took a trip over on Saturday afternoon. Glad I finally did. Really impressive up close from the SE corner.

Thanks Truthfully, I was really surprised how cool the backside view of these three towers is. For a moment I felt like I was seeing new architecture in a different city. I think a lot of cool photos will be had once this tower is fully complete.

I agree. This doesn't read Chicago for so many reasons. But I love the diversity.
