Pardon my forgetfulness, but which of the 8 towers is currently under construction ?

Mr Downtown · #**283** Posted **Jul 10, 2017, 1:51 AM**

Ancora, parcel D on the site plan.

^^^. Thanks. There is certainly a lot of info to digest about this project.

^ Nice vantage point.

Looks like this one is finally about to move at a faster clip, not that they are on to the tower floorplates.....

Hopefully the Riverline development doesn't repeat the mistakes of the past by focusing in on itself and putting up a bland, dead facade to its surroundings *cough Dearborn Park *cough*

Dearborn was built as a fortress

Taken about an hour ago on my phone:

It looks like they're finishing up the first non-podium floor, so I expect things will start moving much faster in the next week or two.

Has anyone heard anything about them starting the other components of Phase 1 soon – the condo tower and river walk/park?

Mr Downtown · #**289** Posted **Jul 14, 2017, 10:22 PM**

Architect said Wednesday that, yes, they were finishing the last plinth floor. I expect the residential floors to rise about one a week. First occupancy is set for April 2018, and parts of the riverwalk will open shortly thereafter.

He said they were in permitting now for the next building, a condo tower south of River City, but I didn't clarify exactly which sub-parcel.

^ In permitting for a condo tower they haven't started sales on?

Glad they are pretty confident!

IIRC, the condo tower that's a part of phase one is Current (Building G)

I don't recall ever seeing this rendering. - Via Curbed, which has a good rundown today of Chicago's current mega developments.

That would put it at the corner of Wells and Taylor?
