Stuff We Want: 301 South Green
Building Up Chicago

3d ago
No action yet at 301 South Green. 301 South Green is to be a 36-story, 362-unit apartment tower in Chicago’s West Loop. Currently home to one- and two-story brick buildings, the new development would wipe out those two structures and replace them with a glass tower designed by Goettsch Partners. The tower would include about 1,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space, 128 parking stalls (for cars) and 250-some spaces to park your bike. Per the Goettsch website, 73 apartments would be affordable units. Per that same website, as well as the presentation shown on the Plan Commission’s site, t ..read more

Demolition continues on Northwestern University’s Ryan Field in Evanston, IL. Because “Ryan Field demolition progress, in words” would just be “Ryan Field demolition progress continues” and that doesn’t show you much. Much sunnier on this day. Perfectly sunny, in fact. Wednesday March 20, to be specific ..read more

919 West Fulton sprouts above street level

919 West Fulton from under the L on Lake Street. 919 West Fulton had just started poking up out of the ground last time we visited. Now, you can walk along North Sangamon and look up to see progress, as the core juts skyward on this future office building from *Fulton Street Companies. *Remember the whole 917 vs 919 thing from earlier this month? It looks like perhaps there’s a resolution, as that link from Fulton Street Companies now refers to this project as 919. The old link, the 917 link, is dead. With the full building permit in hand for this one, having been issued back in November, h ..read more

Construction crews works on finishing exterior touches at The Elizabeth. Formerly known as, and still addressed as, 225 North Elizabeth, The Elizabeth is getting closer and closer to welcoming its first tenants. I don’t know when the name was changed, but I just noticed it this morning, so it’s brand new to me.

The project website shows rental fees ranging from just under $2,000 for studio apartments, up to $6,450 for three-bedroom abodes. Sterling Bay br ..read more

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Clayco Inc. (@clayco_inc) I stopped by the future 220 North Ada last week after seeing the tower crane permit has been issued. The single-story building previously occupying the site had been demolished, and the lot seemed primed for new construction. Sure enough, ground has been broken. The ceremony took place Tuesday March 12. Congrats to the development team of Shapack Partners, CRG, and KMW Communities on their big day. 29 stories, 300+ apartments on their way to the West Loop. How about we drop in next week and see if Clayco and Adjustabl ..read more

The scene Monday, March 11, at 400 lake Shore in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood. CaissonFest is underway at 400 Lake Shore, as Keller North America and team have begun drilling into the earth around the old Chicago Spire’s cofferdam. I’m told about 50 caissons need to be drilled & filled to supplement the support offered by that big hole in the ground, the one that just got a boatload of concrete dumped into it. So this crew should be around for awhile. Lots of equipment, lots of people on site. So, lots of photos ..read more

Rendering of the T5 parking garage from SCB. This crane’s been at work for a while. It’s erecting a six-story parking deck in front of the International Terminal 5 at O’Hare Airport. The rendering looks kinda like a cruise ship. I like it. Better than an ORDinary parking garage. 1,700 parking stalls will replace what had been a surface parking lot. Here are a few of the players on this project: SCB – design architect AECOM Hunt – contractor Clayco – contractor Bowa Construction – contractor F.H.
