Don't worry, you have a few weeks before your name becomes available to the public!

That's just a Bezo's in law or guest house. When this one sells....

A palatial 25,000-square-foot Lincoln Park mansion...at a record asking price, $50 million.
Built...in 2008, the home stands on seven city lots on Burling Street, where it was one of the first mega-mansions built in the Burling-Orchard-Howe district that is now thick with them.

One door south is the highest-priced: a $50 million estate on Burling Street, and the second is a restored 19th-century mansion near the Newberry Library whose seller is asking $21.9 million.

There's more than enough (not saying it's a ton, but probably more than we'd realize) people even in the city that can afford the $50M home, but I really have to wonder how many years that thing is going to be on the market before it finds a buyer.

Let's not turn this into the Atlanta thread, where Atlanta3000 and other folks are saying they've got inside sources

What a bazaar opinion piece. Scant mention of Philadelphia, which will be the actual winner.

pilsenarch · #**42572** Posted **Aug 22, 2018, 1:52 AM**

well, from a completely logistical POV, it's us or Atlanta...

(based upon the list of five... and when I say logistics, I mean that in the broadest terms)

I don't really get the emphasis on freight logistics - Amazon isn't building a mega distro center, they're building a second operations base filled with educated white collar employees.

That is going to be dope. The mayor announced this idea to illuminate the river years ago. This is a nice step. (Thanks election season).

I always thought it would be really cool to have the street names in lights under the bridges. Like projecting “LaSalle” under the LaSalle Street bridge and so on. Is that possible? I think that would be dope.

One of their requirements has to do with fairly easy access to an airport. More for business travel of either their employees from wherever flying in and out, or clients/partners.

You guys might be looking for this place lol http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=225033

Or the Amazon thread are probably better places to discuss this I'd think :/

Anyway, looking forward to that Art on the Mart big time. I just hope it isn't too cold by late September, as it would be nice to spend more than 5 minutes looking at it haha

Clearly I'm not the only one who still regularly uses the word dope as a term of endearment... and that's dope.

Hopefully Civic Opera is next.
