Why aren't they planning on spanning the IC tracks again? Is it the cost? It just seems like drilling caissons between the tracks and bridging them shouldn't be exponentially more expensive than a normal building construction. What am I missing?

I think that master plan rendering is older; it's from May, and I thought the developer had released better renderings much more recently

They said in articles this week that for phase 2 they'll have the option to buy the air rights over the tracks, either to build over them or transfer the FAR to build taller buildings east of the tracks.

I apologize if this has been answered before, but is the plan to eventually build on the McCormick marshalling yards? Aren't they needed for exhibition set up and logistics? Or will the developments simply build over them?

UChicago Medicine & Sinai Chicago are joining Chicago ARC. This will likely help kickoff phase 1:

The beautiful old Lake Meadows office building across from Michael Reese is being renovated right now for Howard Brown medical offices. Lee Bey had a nice article about it last week. It was an award-winning piece of Modernism back in 1960, designed by SOM. The renovation should be sympathetic to the original design.

There is equipment next to the 27th St Metra station, looks to be for site remediation. This thing might start sooner than expected

You can follow along on the remediation process here, they post weekly progress maps and webcams:

There is all kinds of nasty radioactive crap underground from the old Chicago Carnotite Company, you can see all the bags of radioactive material piling up.

Just passed by on the train after a long vacation. All of the bags have been cleared off the site.

True, but North Union benefits from a much better location and the infrastructure being more or less already in place, without the need for environmental remediation or public money. Plus Union North has the benefit of all being all rentals, whereas mixed-use is more complicated -- especially for research centers like DPI and the proposed life sciences hub at Michael Reese.

The ARC will add some much needed life-science space, hopefully the start work on the 31st St station soon

Awesome for that area of the city, what's the height of the highest building? Looks 3-400 feet.

For the part west of the Metra tracks, the tallest allowed height is 450 feet. The site east of the tracks isn't fleshed out yet, but they've mentioned highrises potentially 800 feet tall.
