The new plan is from Vornado, the company that used to sell me rust-colored corduroy dungarees when I was a child, but is now a billion-dollar real estate developer. chicagoarchitecture.org/2022/01/30/ful… #chicago #fultonriverdistrict #architecture #skyscraper @PappagHaymes #construction
The 2022 version is much taller, and better looking than what was presented back then. Much like your high school boyfriend. chicagoarchitecture.org/2022/01/26/wes… #chicago #architecture #westtown #skyscraper
it’s a step forward in realizing the late Helmut Jahn’s vision. Its location will make it one of the most prominent buildings in the city’s skyline, even though it will only be 18th in rank. chicagoarchitecture.org/2022/01/25/nay… #chicago #architecture #skyscraper #construction
Like a cat stretching after a good nap, the CTA held a ceremonial groundbreaking for a project to work out the kinks in the Red and Purple Lines just north of the Belmont station. chicagoarchitecture.org/2022/01/25/cta… #chicago #transit @cta #subway #construction
CALLING ALL CHICAGO PHOTOGRAPHERS! Demo delay expiring in 4 days. Please shoot this building before it's gone. John Ramcke House, 2028 N. Seminary, built 1888. Ongoing efforts to save building and façade from demolition for side yard have not yielded change. Long odds.
To be sure, the gulf between renderings and reality is as wide as Upper Peoria Lake, and twice as ugly. But we have high hopes for this one, simply because of its pedigree. chicagoarchitecture.org/2022/01/18/ano… #chicago #westtown #architecture @sterlingbay @SOM_Design
We told you about three-building plans for this space in 2016 and 2019. With a new developer, and new architecture firm, we’ll see if the third time is the charm for three-building plans. chicagoarchitecture.org/2022/01/13/thr… #chicago #architecture #skyscraper #fultonmarket @hparchitecture
The Shedd is going to re-open the windows that formerly allowed skyline views of downtown Chicago, and of Lake Michigan, from the Museum Campus. chicagoarchitecture.org/2022/01/11/she… #chicago #architecture #museums #aquarium @shedd_aquarium @Sloopin
Stuff falling off of 875 isn’t unheard of. chicagoarchitecture.org/2022/01/10/har… #chicago #skyscraper #architecture #goldcoast
Thompson Center, once considered to be an ex-parrot, has gone from “stick a fork in it” to “put a ring on it” faster than a TV dating show. Prime is buying a trashed party house, then bringing the fraternity back in as roommates. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/12/19/chi… #chicago #architecture
Enjoy the skyscraper that @sterlingbay stuffed in your stocking just before the man with the bag comes to town. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/12/19/ste… #chicago #construction #architecture #skyscraper #westtown
#Grannyflats aren’t a magic wand to flood the city with places to live on the salary earned by a barista, a doorman, a delivery guy, an Uber driver, or anyone else the skirts-and-suits crowd relies on every single day. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/12/19/chi… #chicago #affordablehousing
More importantly, the developers of this project have released new renderings, which is good because the design has changed several times since the last batch. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/12/08/con… #chicago #architecture #skyscraper #southloop #construction @Sloopin @jahnarch @TimeEquities
Common likes to describe its buildings as “co-living” spaces. Which to salt-of-the-earth middle westerners means it’s coastal millennials re-inventing the boarding house wheel again. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/12/05/big… #chicago #housing #gooseisland #construction #lincolnpark
Empty storefronts and mid-range chains don’t bring in foot traffic, especially with the memory of summer looting fresh in people’s minds. So what do you do to get shoppers to crack open their wallets? Bedazzle them! chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/12/05/sub… #chicago #oakstreet #christmas #lights
For the last five years, real estate developers in Chicago have been using a city program called Adopt-a-Landmark to get things out of City Hall, and vice-versa. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/12/05/a-l… #chicago #realestate #development #preservation @SavingPlaces @Pres_Chicago
Other work included the HVAC system, the fire system, and security. In addition, the building’s exterior was kitted out with color-changing LED lights. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/11/21/eva… #evanston #architecture #construction #chicagoland
If you think a “food zipline” is great idea for Thanksgiving dinner, remember Aunt Marjorie’s forking incident of 2008. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/11/21/goe… #chicago #architecture @lincolnparkzoo #zoo #lions #thanksgiving
Meanwhile, in the past... #chicago #skyscraper #architecture
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of artifacts are uncovered when WGN-TV moves out. There are dusty nooks and crannies in that building that haven’t been touched in decades. chicagoarchitecture.org/2021/11/20/the… #chicago #construction @Hines #television #Bozo #TV
