Hmmmm, doubtful..the striations make it appear to be painted or coated. Weathering steel is less regular/uniform in appearance.

unless you were being sarcastic haha

I couldn't tell from the image and haven't seen it in person, but at one point they did say corten:

The façade proposed for the 8-story tier calls for brick and Corten steel. The 13-story façade will utilize steel and glass.

Nice find Notyrview... jawdropping view there.

Random thought as well, and maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like Wells has been getting the most developments this cycle when you consider all the projects stretching from North to South on it.

In reference to Old Park Town 1, I noticed they never did anything with a large slab of exposed concrete on the tower. Was that intentional? I didn't remember seeing an original rendering for the tower after the programming for the site changed, so I guess it must be, but it looks awful IMO

Thanks the view from the south is my favorite and it just got a whole lot better.

Have there been any renderings publicized for the 15-story ("no 13th story") residential building at the SE corner of Wabash Avenue and 14th Street? Here's its latest permit from yesterday. I searched this forum, Pappageorge Haymes, and Curbed, and I can't find anything.

It's been posted at least twice, but I don't have the link to it off hand. Nothing amazing, but also not terrible. It'll be a nice boost to urbanity and density in that area.

The one on skyrisecities is a grainy picture I grabbed from the audience at the alderman's meeting, but the actual presentation has since been posted:
