This is great news 74 stories (800ft) at Indiana and Roosevelt sets the stage for 1000 at Michigan and Roosevelt. What a Wall for the south end. Did you happen to see if it was another papageorge design?
I agree. 800' is a little close to 734. I require 200 feet of seperation for my arbitrary approval.
OMP is 65 floors at 734 feet, which is an average of almost 11.3 feet per floor. 11.3 times 9 is just over 100 extra feet. I'd bet on this one being 830 feet (the lobby drives the average up a bit I'm sure), without any screen or crown.
The location next to Grant Park, just off Michigan, with permanent views? I doubt they'll have trouble finding buyers, unless they are overpriced, or a ton of similar product (like Park 1000, 830 S. Michigan) is marketing at the same time.
No, they were not. It was more like a poster board laying on the floor in front of other poster boards with images of their other buildings. It was more like a sketch than a picture. It had both museum park west and this new building drown side by side. The agent told me that she did not anticipate this happening in the next couple of years. I don't think that unit sales of museum park west are going that well . That is the case of many other projects in the city. I got the feeling that they are waiting for the market to pick up a little and to have sold more units in the one museum park west building first before moving foreword. At least they are talking about it.
Is the location of this proposed OMP3 where the sales office is currently located? OMPW is located at Roosevelt and Indiana and I don't think there is any more room unless they put it on the west side of Indiana. Can someone confirm?
^^^NO, OMP3 is west of Indiana Avenue. The sales trailor site is slated for a yet undetermined development. It could be anything between townhomes and a small high-rise.
I think the foundation system you're referring to is called a secant pile wall or secant piles.
Thanks for the correction! I had only heard it from the mouth of the construction worker, so please pardon my spelling error. Most of what I know about foundations is from the Clyde Baker interview on Emporis, and he never mentions secant piles.
Wow, this one's so high, and it still has a ways to go! Amazing to see how much they have built up this area. It really helps to extend the skyline southward.

Do Tell I don't think any of have heard of true Supertall for Central Station.
I have heard (more than once) that there was another 80 story building that was being planned for Central Station. I don't know if this is heresay, but I do know that they were not referring to the nearby proposal for Park Michigan.
re: post #1113
If you are standing on the northwest corner of Randolph/Michigan ave intersection, you'll be surprised to see OMP as the most dominant on the southern end of Grant Park.
