Cool CHICAGO | 1300 W. Carroll | 514 FT & 418 FT |

1300 W. Carroll | 514 FT & 418 FT |

Seeing as this is a fairly significant project with a tower planned for over 500', I decided to create a thread for it.

Looks like every new apartment building coming up in Atlanta. 9-10 story parking podiums in Midtown (the densest part of the city). Thought Chicago was better than this.

Agreed, but it looks like it’s basically a standalone ramp. The tower seems to be separate. Or is it? I guess “perforated metal screen” usually means parking. Is the lower rise section all offices? Is this mixed use?

Was near 1200 W Carrol site yesterday. Fenced off and cleared and signs up with agents to contact for leasing. May have been that way for awhile but hoping this gets going this summer. I read this is supposed to commence before 1300 and I love the design.

I believe the parking is only along the train tracks. There is office space planned fronting the street.

I think you are correct. From my understanding, the office portion is what everyone is perceiving to be the "parking podium." I also believe the office design will resemble the silos that once occupied that area.

In that case I rescind my derision. That seems a reasonable approach for the parking. I’m glad that whole section facing Carroll isn’t parking.

Those 'oil cans' on the roof of 1300 are clown shoes. What an 'I give up' effort on design.

Yeah I’m assuming they’re supposed to symbolize the demoed silos? The reference will be lost on 99% of people who will just see it as random rooftop clutter. I mean if you took the geometry of a silo bank and extruded it up as a glass tower, that would at least be better interpreted and at the very least interesting and practical.

That stupid silo tower is so freaking ugly I refuse to believe it isn’t a placeholder design. This is SO BAD for sterling bay. The whole design just looks cobbled together from other renderings and that huge sign on top? What the hell is that? Who has EVER seen a residential tower with that big of an address sign? Is that even a thing?

Really hoping this is just to get the PD approved like the bs Lincoln yards renderings or the bs south bank renderings.

Haha agreed. I like the idea to reference the history of the site, but plopping a few silo apparitions on top of an otherwise typically bland highrise is not the way to do it.

I suspect this one will evolve during the approval process. I wonder if it will go through the Committee on Design?

I like it! The serif font calls to mind the 1970s/80s age of big advertisements on the skyline.

Since we're talking about grain silos and big adverts, here's one you'd see while driving along the Skyway, at the state border...
Sorry for the quality. It's the best I could find.

I like that one of these towers is over 500 ft. I'd love to start seeing more height westward into Fulton/West Loop!

Yes! Exactly!

Not sure if this is what SOM is going for at 1300W, but there is some historical resonance.

Those silos are a really, really strong memory from my childhood. Every time we drove into the city from Indiana I remember seeing those and being some combination of fascinated and terrified at them. Having driven by the fiery smokestacks at the refineries in Gary, I would imagine those silos being full of molten steel, industrial slag, or some such thing. I was somewhat disappointed when I found out they were grain silos.
