Love the minimalist interior, fear it will not be matched by minimalist pricing.

I regularly check for chicago permit database for any interesting projects, but the best information I can get is an address and a very brief description. Is there a publicly accessible place to view the plans based on permit #?

Anyway, a foundation permit was issued for 808 N Wells yesterday!

A major Israeli hospital said it plans to open a high-tech medical research facility at the former Michael Reese Hospital site in Bronzeville.

The ARC Innovation Center, led by Israel’s Sheba Medical Center, is envisioned as the first of many life sciences tenants in a multibillion-dollar mixed-use development near McCormick Place. It has agreed to lease 20% to 25% of the space within a 500,000-square-foot building the project’s developers hope to begin constructing next year near 31st Street and Cottage Grove Avenue.

Medical research would be a key aspect of a “healthy neighborhood of the future,” which could grow to 100 acres or more through a series of land acquisitions and could cost $6 billion to $7 billion to develop over the course of about 15 years, said Scott Goodman, founding principal of Farpoint Development.

wow that is huge not just for that site but for the state of life sciences in Chicago. Seems like a lot of momentum in that arena....

This site has tons of opportunity and this is just one piece of the many opportunities this area has to offer.

Looks nice but sad to see such low density. New construction in Bucktown has higher density and it's much farther from the Loop and Lakefront. Still better than a vacant lot.

Bucktown isn't a life sciences hub, it is a residential neighborhood. This is an extension of downtown and will likely have more jobs than residents.

"life science hubs" require low density?

I think the point is that it's less a living city block and more a campus. I agree I'd like to see more density but they aren't going to be shoehorning a lot of residential in here...

Density should be fine as the development progresses. They've still got most of the truck marshalling lot to build at skyscraper density in the future, according to the Phase 1 plan.

Given what's happening right now, space around an institution is a good thing.

The planned 11 story new office building w/ground floor retail next to Ace Hotel which I believe is for the Google expansion got issued a building permit for the foundation and part of the super structure. Address is 345 N Morgan and Sterling Bay is the developer.
