508 W. Diversey Pkwy got its full building permits for 12 stories and 53 units. I see the project listed on Curbed's high rise map, but it's not listed on our front page. Can a mod please add the project to the list?

I think another podium based hi rise is destined for the lot immediate to the west on the blue plate catering site.

How many times does this need to be explained, windows and any other openings​are strictly prohibited in the building code along lot lines for fire prevention reasons. So unless you want an entire city of buildings that don't extend to the lot lines you will just have to deal with the occasional black brick wall while waiting for the adjoining property to be developed.

I wasn't talking about the blank red wall on the new construction. But about the blank beige wall on the existing building behind it. Which this project could have built to, and didn't.

Hey harry any idea when the development on the south side of the train station suppose to start? When all the oak park developments are completed it's going to have a totally different urban feel.

Oak Park Station's podium actually looks better than the tower, IMO. How does this happen? Why is it we can never have both?

I guess it's a difference in taste but that podium just looks tacky to me.

^^^^ To each their own obviously. I just prefer something different for a base than steel screen or blue glass. I'm hoping for somthing unique to look at on every base when they keep building up that strip of Halsted ,VanBuren-Lake, after 1S.Halsted is completed.

Caissons at Nobu! I think this was a high rise. It's been so long, I wouldn't have believed what I saw if I didn't drive by!
