410 North Elizabeth under construction soon


High-Rise Proposed At 1415 North Dayton Street In Lincoln Park

Architecture is really all starting to blend together, all looks the same. West loop is just incredibly hot, it’s crazy how much the development is concentrated still there even after the last 20 years, shows how abandoned and vacant it was at one time. They have also been demo happy on historic stuff that is in fine shape, especially Lincoln Park and Lakeview, and replacing with modern builds. Weird development scene right now up there

Yes, basically any neighborhood surrounding the Loop is hot right now. I think South Loop is about to set a new standard for growth in Chicago, 2030-2040 will be wild.

The realtors I talk with believe Lakeview and Lincoln Park are going to start seeing more height. Developers are starting to get more bold. This was just approved in Boystown.

Weird. I was told Chicago was in a death spiral and Illinois is toxic. 

Sure looks as if Chicago has given up its legacy as an architectural innovator.

Same. I was told this was a dead city overrun by illegals. Was i lied to?

I’d say it has more to do with developers choosing not to be very bold. I think the failure of the Spire project scared many away from being bold

New proposal today. Replaces a 4-5 story medical building.

is that not on the south shore area of Chicago?

Diversey and Sheridan, north side. The stretch of Diversey between Broadway and Sheridan is one of my favorite stretches. Has an NYC vibe.
