GLASS

^^^ Nice, look how perfect the reflection of the tower crane is. Almost no waviness at all. Hope it's not just a good angle, if the overall look of the glass turns out that well these are going to be awesome buildings.

330 N. Clark - designed by HKS
Ground floor retail/lobbies, office space on 2-7 connected to the Reid Murdoch Building, topped by 500 hotel rooms

It looks like they are building a connection over Carroll between Clark and LaSalle

All of this makes me hope that the Westin next door will someday finally be redeveloped into something attractive.

Man that looks great.

Seemingly out of nowhere, another building that's gonna make the River canyon even more beautiful

No way! I just commented a month or so ago that someone needed to hire SHoP to design something for that little lot given their experience designing projects integrating historic buildings.

Wow, on little to no land. Amazing what they can fit in here and there

Great news! HKS designed the Vikings Stadium.

very unusual shot here - the valet service has not started double parking Carol st yet.

marothisu · #**3614** Posted **Apr 13, 2016, 2:49 PM**

Potentially awesome building. Really want to see the renders...

Near North Resident · #**3615** Posted **Apr 13, 2016, 2:56 PM**

wow I can't believe they can build such a tall building on such a tiny lot!

The magic of no structured parking.

UPChicago · #**3617** Posted **Apr 13, 2016, 3:29 PM**

They actually should put some condos on top. I can't imagine they would be hard to sell in that location.

While we're seeing developers get more progressive with parking ratios in apartments and hotel buildings (this is the third? hotel in this small sub-area of River North with no parking announced in the last few weeks), there still seems to be the belief that condos need at least 1 space per unit, even for a location like this. Perhaps the constrained site and desire to leave out structured parking meant they felt they couldn't include condos.

Holy crap! This proposal on 330 N Clark has me stoked!!
