I'm looking for any updates on the plans for the Palmer Printing plant in the 600/700 block of Clark St.

I know it was sold to a developer and according to employees Palmer is moving out "any day now." They have heard that the existing building will be used for parking and that residential housing will be built on the lot just to the North. They believe that the entire parking lot space was purchased and will be used.

I can't really find much beyond that.

Always good to add more height when compared to just 1 floor, and add a little more density while at it.

There will be 12 parking spaces though.

Piles for the pier for the flyover.

Edit, this article is newer;

So this building was proposed originally at 13 floors, got chopped down to 10, and then grew to 14 only seven months after the first announcement? Which one are we getting? I actually hope its the shorter version. The taller version will fuck up the view from Ashland/Lake

It'll be on the right, behind the brown brick midrise. Its gonna block everything from 150 N. Riverside to Sears. Bummer. I was looking forward to taking this shot again with 110 N. wacker complete

Wow. That's extremely disappointing. Takes the entire character of the building away.

Building permit from April 16, 2018 for 180 N. Ada.

DIRECT DEVELOPER SERVICES - FULL BUILDING PERMIT FOR A NEW 14-STORY BUILDING WITH 263 APARTMENTS AND 143 PARKING SPACES. FOUNDATIONS AND SUPERSTRUCTURE THROUGH LVL 2 PERMITTED UNDER 100726744.

Looks like it was not chopped down after all

The west loop is booming. Expect lots of views to change/get blocked.

Can't recall if the CME ground floor renovations have been posted. Very SANAA-esque (at least the glass shape).

Seems like such an odd expenditure of money. The lobby is fine as is in my opinion, and they already have several major tenants so it's not like they need to do something major like what the Sears Tower owners are doing.

Regardless, looks very nice
