Whoops, had Clark on my mind as they just closed those up for the summer dinning and such. I bike on bike on both every week.

Nice picture! Still a long way to go to fill those empty lots.

Some of those “empty lots” are athletic fields for the 2 schools in that photo. So they will remain that way.

The last phase of North Union is being built on the Moody athletic field

Yeah everything Moody owns west of Wells, with the exception of the brick parking garage, is now part of North Union and will eventually be built up by JDL for residential. That includes the Solheim Athletic Center and its tennis courts. Part of the deal between Moody and JDL requires them to replace the Solheim Center, either in the podium of the new towers or at some other site nearby.

The soccer field north of Oak is NOT CPS/Payton property but actually belongs to Moody as well, and wasn't even open to Payton use until last year. This soccer field would be the last and final phase of North Union.

The baseball field at Oak/Wells does belong to Payton, and that will remain.

They should have put the metal trim where the wall plane folds; would have helped the illusion.

Excluding the timber structure, what is the next building to go up and what’s the timeline?

How did the second building catch up to the first?

Totally guessing here, but perhaps the construction contract was for both buildings (as part of Phase I of the development). That way, they didn't have to wait for loans, permitting, long lead-time construction materials, having different mobilization schedules and costs, etc. It could all have been under one contract, split in two parts, so when construction was a certain percentage complete for one building, they could have started work on the second one since the schedule accounted for both.
I mean, we all know JDL is a knockout, awesome developer, but that type of scenario would possibly help explain why.

^Awesome shot, these are looking great side by side. Wish they were double/triple in size. When are they going to start the big ones over the sports fields?

BrickellBased · #**315** Posted **Sep 29, 2023, 5:08 AM**

The website https://northunion.com/ has 2024-2025 delivery dates I believe (or are those start dates?) for the middle sized ones and 2025-2026 dates for the tall ones.

That timeline is way moved up from what they initially showed at community meetings in 2021. See https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/dept...rth-union.html

Eg these are the old dates but I think the heights are still accurate-ish.

Also here are some renders I found that I hadn't seen before from https://northunion.com/gallery (visit for full size)

And from https://jdlcorp.com/projects/north-union

Are "delivery dates" start dates? It would be awesome to have two new 600+ footers in the area by mid-late decade.

BrickellBased · #**318** Posted **Oct 21, 2023, 7:12 PM**

I think they're delivery dates - thought not sure how realistic they are. They've have to start on the 380' and 475' towers very soon with a late 2025 delivery probably. But with JDL anything is possible!
