Glad there'll be so much retail.

I wonder if those wrinkles will smooth out if we run the shower really hot for about 20 minutes?

I had the same reaction and wondered if it was a conscious decision or one made necessary by the day they went and photographed the surrounding area. It put me in mind of another evocative wintry rendering:

I think the base has changed. It looks like the glass starts higher up, and there might be some other subtle stuff like column differences. Or I'm seeing things.

On August 20th Chicago planning commission has 3 high rises (good ones) on the agenda.

- 130 N Franklin, the best office tower that could come this cycle IMO, nothing has changed for this one.

-Viveroy Hotel,18 stories great design.

-Ed Debevic' (640 wells), love the zigzag boxes.

Awesome good to see 130 N Franklin is taking one step closer to becoming reality. I agree best design of the cycle.

Speaking of K+S have a couple of new close ups of 130 N Franklin.

Speaking of 130 N Franklin, They re-surfaced and re-striped the parking lot a couple weeks ago. Obviously that doesn't make much sense if they plan to break ground any time soon...

munchymunch · #**199** Posted **Aug 14, 2015, 3:02 AM**

In regards to 130 n Franklin, I have a feeling that tishman is gunning for the first one to start an office building next cycle. At this point I think they just want to get everything set up before starting.

Next cycle? Do you mean next year? They might as well not be going through the planning commission at all if they're planning on next cycle.

I think we can rule out Tishman building on spec. They are most likely just still shopping for an anchor tenant nothing too concerning here. You don't stop doing maintenance on a property out of speculation.
