it looks like anyone still holding out a vain hope that we might see evanston one day build a new tallest building for its skyline can finally let go of that little dream. evanston has decided that is does not want to be a tall building city, and developers are now walking away.

Developers drop plans for Northlight tower
By Bill Smith on March 1, 2018 - 7:51pm

Northlight Theatre, Farpoint Development and McLaurin Development today announced they are withdrawing plans for a proposed 37-story development in the 1700 block of Sherman Avenue in Evanston.

In a joint statement, the parties said that they now feel that to move forward, "given that the site has become a source of contention, would serve to perpetuate a divisive issue for city leaders and residents in a time of continuing debate about the vision and future of downtown Evanston."
