CHICAGO | Highrise Projects & Construction, v7

[JN12Franklin]

So the last couple of weeks has me kind of feeling like we may be about to start a new "cycle". The pandemic kind of feels like a natural cycle break, although I could be convinced this last long cycle never really ended considering big projects like Salesforce and BMO are ongoing. But the amount of news on permits and demos and proposals the last 2 weeks had my head spinning. Just took 20 minutes and came up with a list from recent articles. And I'm sure I'm missing some...

Not sure if these are thin brick or integrally cast or what have you, but 609's precast panels are now flying up. Nice to see the variation in color and arrangement of the brick in these panels.

[ardecila]

Based on the range of color and the way the light is hitting it, I'm 99% sure this is thin brick and not cast with a formliner. Looks awesome, definitely worth a few extra pennies to do real brick next to the awesome brick and terracotta on 601.

Those beige strips will be covered with a black steel channel after the glazing goes in. The gray patches will also be attachment points for steel channels that span horizontally between bays and diagonally:

So far, so good with this building - it's shooting up like a weed!

Urbanize Chicago covered the 14 story highrise replacing Sports & Fitness on Fullerton. The newer renderings aren't as bad as the initial ones, but still pretty meh

Very nice shots HC.

Made project updates to the west loop in my 3d model. Didn't realize how large some of these proposals are.

[BVictor1]

Just an unbelievable transformation. A few of these proposals I don't recognize. I can't wait until the West Loop/Fulton Market merges with IMD. I also can't wait for a real 500'er seeing as Related pussed out.

Thanks for the work or your model and for posting.

1201 W. Fulton looks shorter than its proposed 414'.

[SteelMonkey]

Glorious! Damn nice work Rgarri

[F1 Tommy]

Amazing artwork rgarri4

[gebs]

It is truly amazing to see the transformation. But looking at all of these proposals simultaneously makes you realize that everyone is trying their best to inch upward without pissing off the NIMBY base. If it's primed to get THAT dense, it just makes sense for some of these new developments to jump skyward.
