Lol - no kidding.....

At first I was outraged because I thought Goettsch was on tap to design the 'central station' project......however, I also then immediately went to the link to check out the developer's experience, and I very much agree with rlw777 - they are not going to be able to pull this off - which is quite fortunate as they're now going with Pappageorge.

So sick of Pappageorge right now (I assume they are just cut-rate, and very attractive to those many developers that don't give a fuck about actual design). They are like SCB, absent the talented bits.....Between Pappageorge's upcoming K Station, Streetervill, Streeterville, just begun South Loop tower on Polk, not to mention their under-construction River North towers, I'm about at the limit I can handle for P/H projects this boom......

Also totally agree w comment re HPA....

Perhaps history will view their work differently, and 100 years from now Chicago will be known and talked about for having the foremost collection of Pappageorge buildings in all the world.

A couple of photos of Mila / 200 N. Michigan on a nasty Chicago day, mainly because it looks like they're finally taking down the scaffolding on Lake.

Thanks a lot, Solar Wind. Booth Hansen's tower on Halsted and Couch is mighty fine.

Has anybody been near the base recently? The tower looks great, but I haven't seen how it interacts with the street level in a couple months.

It looks good IMO. It's obviously a podium, but is on 3 or 4 floors and bisected by the tower portion above. The base cladding is a nicely detailed perforated metal screen. If you are going to have a podium, this is the way to do it.

Located at the edge of the financial district a phased mixed use project is being designed with a mix of condominium residential, rental residential, a major hotel, and accessory parking. A site with exceptional views and walkability to all the richness of downtown Chicago.

Housing units 400 to 600
Hotel 200 keys
Gross square feet To be finalized
Development budget To be finalized
Completion date Phase 1 Fall 2017
Architect Pappageorge Haymes Partners
General ContractorTo be determined
That's strange. Pappageorge Haymes was indeed working on this project, but only to do the unit layouts. The actual envelope of the building, the hotel, and even the lobbies were designed by Goettsch Partners. In fact the image background on the linked site is the Goettsch Partners design. I'll have to do some digging to see if anything changed or if the project credits are getting messed up as usual.

too bad it isn't taller, but it's just tall enough since it's kind of over by itself

Can anyone explain why they finished out the curtain wall on the top floor before working their way up? I don't remember seeing this before - don't buildings usually just work up from the bottom?

Correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't Phoenix Development Partners own the Northeast corner of the RiverLine site? What ever happened to that? Does anyone know anything about its current status?
