    Chase looking to have a very large tower built for them in Chicago..... BMO and Bank of America just completed 800+ foot towers in Chicago this year.

    Chase eyes sites for potential new skyscraper, in what could lead to one of the largest office leases in Chicago history

    https://www.chicagotribune.com/busin...m6y-story.html


    Some snippets..

    JPMorgan Chase is looking at development sites where it could lease as much as 1 million square feet in what could lead to one of the largest office leases in Chicago history. It also could mean changes for the bank’s well-known Loop office tower.

    The banking giant, which owns and occupies the 60-story Chase Tower, recently toured several sites and listened to pitches from developers looking for an anchor tenant to kick off construction of a new skyscraper, according to people familiar with the search.

    If Chase does move, it likely would look to sell its distinctive, sloped tower.

    But there are signs pointing to a deal this time around, amid increased attention to the quality of office space as companies call workers back from home after more than a year of COVID-19 precautions.

    Another factor likely to influence Chase’s thinking: Bank of America and BMO Financial are relocating and putting their names on brand-new Chicago towers.

    Those making pitches to Chase include Tishman Speyer for a vacant site at 130 N. Franklin St., and Hines for a site south of Willis Tower at 401 S. Wacker Drive. John Buck Co. proposes a site at 655 W. Madison St., along the east side of the Kennedy Expressway.

    Here is s video showing all the west loop projects underway after they are completed(all west of the Dan Ryan ). This area is growing lightning fast and will be bigger than downtown Dallas and Austin combined by 2025.

    Always a spot in any good liberal government for the faithful... The ex Chicago Mayor, who I thought did a better job running the city than the current mayor.

    Biden formally nominates Rahm Emanuel to be U.S. ambassador to Japan.

    Saw this picture of the huge train station they built for the 1893 Chicago Worlds fair. They built the whole fair in a little over a year. Can you imagine how long it would take to build it now in the USA??

    You don't want to show the competitions new towers on your ad renderings :) I would say atleast 10 700-1200 foot tall building are missing.
