A bit off topic, but since you mentioned the riverwalk, what’s the plan for the River City condos? How will the riverwalk extension continue south past this property while keeping the marina entrance open for boats?

I've not heard any info about that. I did hear a rumor that River City could de-condo.

I remember them saying Riverline would be a decade long project. They've been working on LSE for 16 years. I see this one taking at least 15.

I love how the illustrator captures the warm glow of a Chicago winter sunset yet you are able to feel the cold chill that we all love to hate!

Only thing missing is the heat plumes imo.....

Not entirely clear yet. River City needs to rebuild its seawall at a higher elevation, and that gives the opportunity to improve the current passageway just east of the marina. If River City gets a new single owner (Marc Realty or someone else) I suspect they'll see the opportunity in realigning some of their retail space to be accessed from that passageway, or rethink the whole design.

Anyone have an update on when/which buildings will start construction next?

By 2025 this view will be unrecognizable!

great shot. This development really pulls river city back into the skyline

[KWillChicago]

This thing is turning out a lot larger than i expected, to the eye. Can we get number two started already?

[Notyrview]

Yeah i like this one.

Looks like River City could use a good scrubbing.

Looks like a deal to convert it into apartments is finally going through, so that will probably happen soon enough...

[LouisVanDerWright]

Hopefully they don't paint it, all they need to do is fix any spawling and then hit it with a low dose of muratic acid and powerwash it.

River City condo owners close to taking $100 million offer

By Dennis Rodkin
Nearly two years after a developer first offered to buy all the condos at River City in the South Loop, the homeowners association finally has enough votes to sell, but just barely.

The $100 million sale of River City's 448 condos would be the biggest Chicago condo development by far to switch to rentals in the recent wave of deconversions.

The next-largest sale by condo owners for conversion to rental entailed convincing less than half as many different owners: Last spring, owners in the 207-unit building at 420 W. Belmont Ave. approved a developer's $51.5 million offer.

After a series of delays during the fall when the votes in favor hadn't quite reached the 75 percent that Illinois condo law requires, the River City Condominium Association announced in an email to River City owners last week that owners of 75.87 percent of the River City complex now support selling.

From the article, at least 3/4 of the owners are investors, which means it is already a rental building for all intents and purposes. The investors must think this is a good way to flip their investment and get out.
