I was curious what Hyde Park's oldest building is. I came across the database listing all the pre-1940s building in Chicago, including Hyde Park:

https://webapps.cityofchicago.org/la...earch/home.htm

(Choose Hyde Park for the neighborhood.)

As you may know, the oldest house in Hyde Park is 5317 S. Dorchester. (I guess that's also the oldest building in HP?) :

I noticed this morning that all of the curtainwall connector clips are installed on the south facing slab edges at Solstice up to the floors with current pours. Hopefully that means we will be seeing some sloped facade panels very soon.

The north and southeast sides of Jackson Park are already beautifully enclosed with buildings, but I'm excited to see the west side bulk up a bit with the Obama Library and apartment proposal at 63rd/Blackstone.

Would be interesting to see this proposal on Stony Island come back to life, since so many others around Hyde Park have recently:

University updates design of Rubenstein Forum

Quote:

May 10, 2017
The University of Chicago has updated the architectural design for the David M. Rubenstein Forum by New York-based firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro.

The building, which will be a center of intellectual exchange, scholarly collaboration and special events, will provide the University with much needed meeting spaces for workshops, symposia and lectures, among other activities. The building’s location, at the southeast corner of Woodlawn Avenue and 60th Street, affords views of the campus and the Midway Plaisance, the city skyline and Lake Michigan.

As before, the building is composed of a two-story base and an eight-story tower. The exterior has evolved over the last year to become a more uniform composition of zinc and glass, expressing the separate meeting “neighborhoods” that compose the tower. Those “neighborhoods” pair meeting rooms with informal shared spaces, and they can be configured according to users’ needs. The ground floor includes the main lobby and a restaurant, with stairs leading to the building’s largest multipurpose event space, capable of accommodating groups up to 600. Immediately above the base is a 285-seat auditorium. The top floor of the tower features a flat-floor multipurpose space, which can accommodate meetings of 75 and other events.

The Rubenstein Forum is named in honor of University Trustee and alumnus David M. Rubenstein, JD’73, co-founder and co-CEO of the Carlyle Group, in recognition of his ongoing generosity to the University.

Sickkkkk, this looks much cleaner; the Midway mini-skyline is getting so good.

Would be great to see some midrise buildings on the north end of 61st to give it a bit of depth looking south.

As for the hotel, the design is great, but they could save the school and site it directly south of it, creating a kind of mini-Beekman for Hyde Park:

I really like the new hotel's design, but hate the fact they are demolishing the Day School. I'll echo the previous comments on why can't they keep and integrate the existing buildings on the site with the tower behind? There's no scarcity of land here.

Great to see confirmation on the Rubenstein re-design.

Developer unveils plan for 185-room hotel near Obama library
Alby Gallun - May 11, 2017
After visiting the future Obama Presidential Center in Woodlawn, out-of-towners won't have to walk far to find a place to sleep, if a New York developer gets its way.

They'll be able to stay at the Study at University of Chicago, a 185-room hotel a couple blocks west of the planned Obama library. Developer Hospitality 3 presented its plans for the 15-story hotel last night at meeting in Hyde Park hosted by the University of Chicago.

The New York-based firm would build the hotel at the southwest corner of Dorchester Avenue and 60th street, on the former site of the Hyde Park Day School, according to slides from the meeting.

Also chuckled at this typo:

Quote:

The hotel is one of several new or proposed developments in the Hyde Park area, including new apartment buildings, stores and hotels. Two out-of-town developers recently broke ground on a 90-story hotel at Dorchester and 53rd Street that's slated to open next spring.

Would certainly change the Hyde Park skyline :haha:

It's really amazing to me how many people actually believe that land that has no structures on it is just for the taking as if nobody owns it. You do realize that these tracts of land are usually owned by private entity, right? Your assessment of being able to "easily" take a piece of land is full of ignorance. Just because they have land without a building on it doesn't mean theyre going to automatically sell to the first person who expresses interest in buying. The same business rules apply to them on when to sell as anything else.

Probably...Right now GSW's either go to Stroger or Christ in Oak Lawn from the south side. Giving them another location basically right between can only help.

I have heard, on a podcast or something, that one of the reasons our murder rate is lower than in 80's and 90's has mostly to do with the abilities and equipment that paramedics have with them when they respond. I think the topic was specifically about cutting funds for fire paramedics, so they did not get into the role the hospitals play. Probably a large one as well.

So basically, maybe.

For a top notch center like U of C to have L1Trauma only makes sense.

Not only does the University benefit from applying evidence based approaches to real life cases in high volume, but of course it gives the community access to the best and the brightest. It's a win win, and I really hope it saves lives.

Developers Planning 16-Story Office Tower To Capitalize On Polsky Center

Developers Wednesday night unveiled plans for 280,000 square feet of new office and lab space to capitalize on the businesses being started at the University of Chicago’s Polsky Center.

Wexford Science and Development announced at a meeting at Kenwood Academy it had struck a deal to develop new lab space and an office tower to be built onto the existing Harper Court development at 53rd Street and Lake Park Avenue.

In the first image in the article, there is a faint outline above the massing of the proposed tower. I wonder, is that for what the original height of the residential tower was going to be, or is that what was approved by zoning? Or both? I can't read that adjacent note on the right..

That's not a major issue. Most trauma centers lose money. U of C is opening the Trauma Center so they can gain approval to also open a dedicated cancer hospital on their campus (that will be a big money maker). It'll be the largest cancer hospital in the state.

Bank of the Ozarks strikes in Hyde Park

Quote:

Another Chicago apartment project has scored a big construction loan from the Bank of the Ozarks: Solstice on the Park, 27-story tower underway in Hyde Park.

The Little Rock, Ark.-based bank in April provided the $76.2 million mortgage to the developer of the 250-unit building, a venture led by Englewood, N.J.-based Antheus Capital, according to Cook County property records.

It's the latest big Chicago multifamily development financed by the bank, which has emerged as one of the most aggressive construction lenders here over the last year or so. Bank of the Ozarks has provided big loans for a 76-story apartment tower in the South Loop, a 492-unit project in the West Loop and a Loop office project being built by Chicago developer John Buck.
