^ well, keep in mind how NIMBY evanston's city council can be.
these are all just proposals at this point, none of them are U/C, and only the bottom 4 on the list above have even been given approval (all of them after council-mandated height reductions).
and when a building over 300' is proposed in evanston, it's often a precursor to a real estate crash. it happened in the early '90s. it happened in the late '00s. might history be repeating itself?
the city council does approve highrises from time to to, but there are almost always concessions on height, size, unit count, parking, etc. that they first exact from the (evil, greedy, diabolical) developer to appease the mouth-foaming NIMBY horde.
