Lol I'm from Atlanta and you're 100% right, Atlanta's downtown is barren and would kill to have something like this. All the development is focused on Midtown and the Beltline/PCM area.

But back to Chicago. The whole northern channel of the river has very bad suburban development. Why I said this will be a gamechanger is because with this development it will open the floodgates to help develop the rest of that whole Elston/Clybourn North Center corridor. Just wait and see.

We'll see. The Kennedy prevents the foot traffic from reaching a critical mass at Ashland/Elston/Armitage. It's highly congested, there's just next to no street life. Bridging that enclave w/ the more lively east bank of the river (not that it's super bustling over there) is going to take a bit of time. Would be nice to see both sides developing simultaneously so there's less of a drop off in the scene as you make your way west towards the Kennedy.

Well……… If this was built-out mixed use in the same design principles of development along the Beltline, that would be quite amazing.

something of a puff piece but outlines the economic opportunity this type of development is aiming to support

it's an interesting thought exercise to think about which development is going to have a more meaningful impact on the future of chicago's economic vitality: lincoln yards vs. the casino project

Why not both? I think each will have major, meaningful impacts for the City's future economic growth, even if they are from two wildly different avenues.

I dont know? In my thought exercise you have to pick one?

I don’t know why anyone thinks a casino is a good thing. Leave that shit in Vegas, which is a sewer anyway.

Chicago YIMBY has a good update on the bio building....

https://chicagoyimby.com/2022/04/all...oln-yards.html

I love the photos of the building with all of the vacant space around it. Hopefully we look back at these in 10 years with awe of how vacant it looks.

Interesting, Gloor mentioned work on the Throop bridge would start later this year and also mentioned a Willow bridge, which has been missing in a lot of the recent drawings and site plans.

I know it's not easy to get a new bridge approved but hopefully Willow goes forward. That's really the best pedestrian route to the L (at Armitage).

Things feel pretty active down there right now -- lots of construction sites and stuff going on.
