    150 North Riverside is going up fast. 3 towers under construction in one photo.

    150 NR is a very interesting building with a super narrow base. The core supports the whole building with no side bracing, pretty amazing for a almost 800 foot building. They are covering all the tracks. Here is a webcam showing progress.

    Here is a photo of the cross bracing for 150 North Riverside and a photo of downtown Chicago. That is one huge chunk of steel, and they will need several of them to hold it up!! Kind of reminds me of the steel fabrication going on in Hudson Yards wich has more tracks to cover.

    Two very large projects going up around the south loop in the next few years. Pictured are some ideas that have been floated but will not be built. The final project will be a lot bigger it seems from the press releases. I have a feeling we will see several casino's in this area within a few years if the Mayor and Governor have their way. Good way to fix fiscal problems without raising taxes as much. Prime unused land north and south of Roosevelt Road on the river are now controlled by 4 huge developers.

    More construction and river walk photos from today. They finished 2 sections of the river walk last year and will do 2 more sections over the next few years. I also threw in a shot of the newly completed Godfrey Hotel taken during the Ronald Mcdonald House Concours in downtown Chicago today.

    Another new proposal that has been rumored since last year, a twin tower on Roosevelt Road. 113 E Roosevelt Road will be the 862 ft 1st tower on the left developed by Crescent Heights. A second tower is planned but may not look the same as shown on the right in the photo.



    It will be the tallest tower south of Roosevelt Road in Chicago. If this project starts by late next year Chicago will have atleast three 850 ft or taller towers under construction at that time with Wanda being the biggest. We will see.


    Announced last night.
