Found the article. It's a quote from David Reifman, so I assume it is accurate.

Also appears in a presentation that Reifman gave (PDF):

That picture on page 11 is insane how the river bended into the area and the miles of train tracks that were removed.

Hmmm. The Taylor Street Bridge seems a little less than certain, given that it's listed as a "previously planned improvement" and has no TIF money actually allocated to it.

I hope we get a tower or two near/behind the OPO soon to balance out the view from the south branch riverwalk.

I've thought this same thing a few times.

^^^It's funny to see that field of finely graded topsoil so close to the loop and the IH tractor to boot!

Took a stroll through the new riverfront park portion of Southbank (I think this is still the correct thread(?)

Of note are the below images. The path directly in front of the new builidnig has this little sign next to it. Perhaps noting that construction will start on the southernmost tower fall of 2020? Anyone have news on the next stage of this development?

^ I am puzzled over why LendLease has not yet begun work on its second tower at Southbank.


Frankly, along the same lines I also question why CMK hasn't launched their first Riverline tower.

They aren't renting out many units. Need to prove they can fill one building before the bank gives them a loan for another tower

Once Post Office tenants start arriving, should help move this development along

You've seen occupancy stats for the Cooper that are underperforming LendLease's expectations to-date?

^Agreed. It sometimes feels like a snoozefest in that area of town.

That's a great point.

Numbers I heard at a lecture is that The Cooper is 60% leased and 50% occupied and this was from 1 month ago.

Which is pretty crazy because NEMA is already almost at those figures and only just opened. The Cooper has been open for over a year now. Very slow, but like others mentioned, the OPO might be the kick in the butt needed to fill out another 25% and then they can feel good to start the next one

Ok....that's something to go on.

First move-ins of the 452 unit project were in September last year. And they were 60% leased by this July. Seems to me they were well on their way to having themselves a stabilized asset 12-14 months after opening. To me it seems pretty typical.

While the OPO could only be a positive, I don't think it's some huge driver either. Southbank-Riverline stands on its own based on its location a handful of blocks from the CBD. I don't see its success as being somehow dependent on a re-energized SW Loop commercial center (again, it will only help though of course)...

The area's character definitely attracts residents who are not looking to live amongst tons of nightlife and 3am activity. More about convenience to the Loop, the Lakefront, cultural amenities - and yes, convenience to the nightlife without living on top of it.

One hundred percent agree. I live in the snoozefest of Dearborn Park and I love it. The Riverline being even farther removed from State Street and Michigan avenue would likely be even quieter.
