It looks like Sterling Bay's updated their website fairly recently, which breaks down a lot of their new projects in Fulton Market and Lincoln Yards:

Yeah for some reason they stopped working for me yesterday. I had to dig up the thread myself in the Proposals board.

Hopefully it will be given a Chicago tag soon enough and show up on the Chicago projects page.

Didn't this start a few weeks ago?

Editing because I was thinking 160 N. Morgan.

160 N. Elizabeth has been cranking for more than a month.

I read this the other day and immediately thought "what a load of shi!t". It's just another NIMBY complaint about car traffic arguing density should be scaled back.

^ If anything it's an argument that the city should get serious about infrastructure in West Loop. That includes flashy things like a new Metra stop and maybe a 2nd Green Line stop, but also a full grid of traffic signals, optimizing streets for throughput, proper bike lanes, changes to bus service, etc. I get that the city's resources are (currently) limited, but there's a golden opportunity for value capture through a transit TIF or other taxing structures.

Interesting, I was wondering when something would come along to replace that "West Loop Auto Spa" or whatever it is (indoor parking garage). Interesting location for an office project, being south of Randolph. It's only zoned DX-3, so I'm guessing Tishman will have to get a zoning change to build anything significant there. We'll probably hear more about it in coming months.

I don't read it that way at all. It's a complaint over car congestion and suggests that developments which will likely stand for a century or more should be scaled down even though we can still (and absolutely should) do all those improvements. There are cheap things the city could do now like changing free parking to pay and using a lot more curb space for passenger loading/unloading that would be helpful. And yes, I'd like the city to start building a new green line station at Elizabeth pretty much yesterday and they should be able to pay for it out of a TIF.

Sorry, I agree with you that the Crain's article is pearl-clutching/fearmongering when it should be constructive about the best way for the city to accommodate the growth.

The article has a kind of fatalist attitude that too much growth will just lead to gridlock, without acknowledging the many steps the city could take to ensure smart growth. This kind of growth is par for the course in cities like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, even NYC or Boston. If you leave the Midwest you see cities handling this kind of growth and the sky hasn't fallen. It's really weird for Crain's honestly, since they are usually such a cheerleader and promote the benefits in terms of tax revenue, job/population growth, developer contributions to Invest South/West, etc. I wonder who got to them?

That guy feels like a background villain in a vintage Disney movie. Every single thing I've heard him say or do. Hard not to imagine him buying Dalmation puppies for his boss to turn into a coat.

LG Development got demolition approval for 210 N Aberdeen St, according to Urbanize. LG expects to start construction in the spring: https://urbanize.city/chicago/post/l...210-n-aberdeen

Fulton Market developments have been on a streak with starting construction not too long after being approved
