I am always a fan of tall and thin instead of short and squat. I dig it! I wasn't 100% sold on the old "porch" design anyway.

Overall I like this better. The porch was alright but the scale and mass of the original design was too monotone in its overall context of what is there and yet to come.

Jesus......

I love it! It's so much fun to walk around the West Loop and try to find the buildings that are complete/under construction in this versus those that are proposed.

In a few years Fulton Market is going to end up with a better skyline than Phoenix, San Diego, San Antonio and San Jose

Curious if CBRE or other data aggregators have calculated the total square footage of the WestLoop/FultonMarket area. Office segment/Resi/Retail?

From Rgarri mocks this looks denser than the downtowns of Indianapolis Des Moines Milwaukee Columbus.

Right now it's my feeling that other cities should look to Fulton Market as an example of how to apply zoning/historic preservation/development in the future. There's been an incredible increase in density and activity there in the last decade, but it is significantly easier to walk around. And despite the dramatic increase in the density and height of new buildings, the preservation of significant historic low-rise buildings and facades means the texture and scale are just about ideal for an American city. I'm typically mashing the yes button on height and density, but if it can be done the way Fulton Market is, no reason not to have your cake and also eat it.

I wonder if once all the lots east of Ashland fill up of Fulton will expand west to Damen or even Western…

There is a Planned Manufacturing District north of Lake to Hubbard that starts at Ogden. It used to extend all the way to Halsted but Burnett has slowly pulled that west. Until that gets repealed, nothing happening. I could see Ogden to Ashland happening 5 or so years from now.

The PMD does allow offices from Ogden to Ashland, and the lots directly west of Ashland, but only an FAR of 3.0 - not really enough to incentivize spec office development.

I keep hoping somebody will build at the NW corner of Lake/Ashland though - right next to a major CTA station, a major bus route, and it's just a parking lot and a seedy corner store.
