Getting close to that if not there already. One Superior is 502'.

So far I’m not a huge fan of the Dearborn St side of this project. All the more reason that the “saving” of the Bella Luna building probably was a good thing, by adding a bit of texture and human scale to what otherwise is a giant blank wall

Speculation around here has been the Bella Luna will sell at some point and we'll get a skinny 4-8 storey resi. which as it turns out will be an awesome little gem of a spot. Full south, west and east exposure for windows, and buffered from north winds by a goliath wind block will create a micro climate of warmth and sun. Also it looks like a lightwell is built in on OneChi side, so marry up with that for your northern wall. And no need for any parking whatsoever with a 100 walk score and public parking next door.

testing out how to get them added but there is a (somewhat) complicated way

Actually the reason it looks bad is probably precisely because of how they had to deal with the Bella Luna parcel. You can almost see that they would have liked to have a sort of mini "nub" of a tower on that corner. What is that going to be at the top of that corner anyways? The spacing of the windows up there is strange. Amenity deck gym?

Chicagolover88 · #**2515** Posted **Dec 6, 2020, 10:39 PM**

Their on the setbacks now right?

Chi-Sky21 · #**2516** Posted **Dec 6, 2020, 11:28 PM**

What is amazing is that it still looks like nothing compared to the Hancock in that last shot.

Right if you go back to the original renderings the apartments wrapping the west side of the garage wrapped the south side as well. Later renderings after the unsuccessful buyout of Bella Luna continued to wrap the west facade treatment around the exposed south side of the garage, but that was an easy VE to take since much of this side could get covered anyway if a small multifloor building replaces Bella Luna in the future.

Also you are correct on the 8th floor windows. Those are for a basketball court in the fitness center. That whole box is getting covered with a perforated metal panel, so the windows will only really be apparent at night.

IrishIllini · #**2518** Posted **Dec 7, 2020, 5:16 PM**

A bit surprised Bella Luna didn't sell, but I agree it'd be nice to see a slender 4-8 story building go there at some point. I'll probably be fully grey or in the ground when it happens.

The only leftover we hate to see more is the Clybourn Medical Center (garage) at Clybourn and Larrabee. I'd be curious to know how that happened.

How about effing grass.

A 7-8 story res. smh

McHugh posted today that they've hit the 50th floor on tower A and the 42nd of tower C. Topped off by spring?
