Most definitely. The office environment is extremely tough, and in all likelihood it's going to become brutal in the months and quarters ahead. Here's to hoping I'm wrong.

No, that's probably a realistic expectation. Now that layoff news is spilling over into non-tech industries, this is probably the beginning of a drawdown on construction starts on any projects involving office. It's why I think 170 Green is still sitting quietly.

The bigger question is what kind if "landing" do we have with the fed interest rates over the coming weeks. If it's a soft landing, maybe we keep getting a splatter of residential buildings to carry us through this "dip". If it's a hard landing, maybe a bit of a drought on the horizon.

Lydian is completed. They've had a few move-ins already I think.

Potential new mega development, I might attend the meeting to voice support for the project. Would love to have a dense David Adjaye project in Chicago

David Adjaye-Designed Development in Chicago’s Old Town Comes Into Focus

A multibuilding development along three of Chicago’s wealthiest neighborhoods, designed by globetrotting architect David Adjaye, is expected to come into clearer view next week when the developer meets with neighbors.

Chicago-based developer Fern Hill plans to discuss its vision for the parcels along Old Town, Lincoln Park and the Gold Coast in a Feb. 2 meeting scheduled by 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins.
....
Hopkins said he expects the plan to include at least one residential high-rise, a common type of property in the area. Parcels that could be redeveloped include gas stations alongside the nondenominational church and a parking lot across the street.
...
“They’ve done a lot of things right so far,” Hopkins said of Fern Hill. “It remains to be seen what the neighborhood is willing to accept for height and density.”

Crazy to think that we only have two 500+ footers U/C right now, and one of them is already topped out and nearly complete. 1000M will remain under construction for some time still, but will there be any projects to replace it as it nears completion? We may be coming up to the first moment in a long, long time where the city will not have any 500+ ft towers under construction!

Side note: can someone stick a flagpole on the top of 900 W Randolph?

The chart below is >150m, or >492' (because the CTBUH database is metric), and it shows completion years, not starts, but I'm pretty sure that the few gap years in Chicago's line over the past 25 years had active >150m tower construction filling them, which means we'd have to go back to like 1997 prior to the start of construction of One Superior Place (God, what an awful vertical turd to kick off such a long running tower boom).

1000M won’t finish construction until 2025 and there are several 500 ft+ proposals in the West Loop that I would expect should start before then.

[Randomguy34]

1000M only has 30 floors left, it could be done before even 2024.

The one 500 footer that could be under construction is the casino hotel. Halsted Point was supposed to start construction last year, so who knows what the current timeline is.
