Yes, they are building a secant wall and excavating downwards at No. 9. That means a lot more steps of construction underground before you can move above ground. The concrete perimeter is the cap of the secant wall.

Looks like 800 N Wells is moving along. This is the 23 story, 58 unit building with ground floor retail. A demolition building permit was issued for the existing building on 12/1 there. The owner on the permit is listed as Smithfield, who is the developer of this new project.

^ Here's the visual, though I can't recall seeing a rendering..
http://www.chicagoarchitecture.org/w...15-300x387.jpg On that note, and continuing the Boom discussion above, throughout the last 5 or so years in following this thread, I've been able to identify just about every development around the city, no matter the size of the project. Driving through the city, my pops would ask me; "what's that one.. and this one, etc.," and I'd have an answer. There is now so much going up in River North, Sloop and the outlying 'hoods that I have completely lost track of what's what. That's a good thing. :cheers: |

Former Gino's on the left, former Ed's on the right, possible Blanc site just behind and cranes from the two river office towers in the far background.

Shapack is planning a mid-rise hotel in the Fulton Market area (Green/Lake) – 11 stories. No word on operator yet.

This is condo, right? If so, has Smithfield begun selling units?? If not (although I find this quite unlikely), I'd imagine these will be some of the largest, most expensive (at least chunk price-wise) tower rental units around town.... |

There are definitely a bunch of medium-to-large size tenants currently in the market that would value brand new A+ space, and the fact that there is essentially no or next-to no contiguous large block space left in the two towers currently under construction is a very good sign for at least a couple additional launches over the next year.... |
Solarwind's Tour

but i will never miss tacky, single story, single-use structures in river north, especially those with attached surface parking lots (ed's). there should be absolutely no tears shed over these. the replacements are far, FAR, FAR superior in every conceivable way. |

I really like the work Shapack is doing – he seems to be filling a void in stylish mid-rise projects that Chicago doesn't get enough of. Even his blue glass highrise is a bit more stylish than most of the others going up. |

And I agree, Shapack is doing very high quality boutique developments, and 171 Halsted/The Parker looks awesome from SolarWind's photos. --- RUSH expansion (west side of Malcolm X College parcel. east side is Blackhawks training facility) Phase 1: 350k sf office/edu building Phase 2-4: two 350k sf office edu buildings, one student housing building. Each phase is set to start 3-5 years after completion of the prior phase. http://s14.postimg.org/b1p4rgykh/Scr...1_21_06_AM.jpg Conceptual design for Phase 1 http://s14.postimg.org/5nlr66jgh/Scr...1_22_32_AM.jpg http://s14.postimg.org/s0y36q9s1/Scr...1_22_44_AM.jpg |
