Looks like a mini mock up of the overhang.

PittsburghPA · #**13064** Posted **Nov 26, 2018, 10:32 PM**

yep. I like the wood panels. Looks a lot like 900 W Washington

Chicago sure is boomtown, I'm not quite an expert on the market but is it realistic to think all of the major projects will be completed this cycle? I'd imagine a bubble must be on the horizon, especially for luxury condos, but maybe not?

If they do all happen, the city will be just mind-blowing.

^ The 2017 5 year ACS comes out next Thursday meaning we'll get to see new populations by community area. I'll be interested to see what the change in the downtown area is from 2016 to 2017.

no.

in every building boom there are always projects left on the drawing boards that don't make the cut.

Wow-The sun really catches some of those blue/silver towers (Riverside/River Point/727 Madison) well. We are going to have a stunning, western-facing, blue wall in a few years once 110N, Union Station Tower and WPS are finished.

^Going to have an emerald city thing going on in another cycle or so... Maybe sapphire city...

When the sun is setting, all these new buildings light up like a Christmas tree, very enjoyable, we just need some more glass to the North (OCS plz) to balance it out.

444 W Lake - with it's beveled top - is BRIGHT for about 5min in the afternoon when seen from Oak Park (~9mi away)

I saw a soil testing rig at the southeast corner of Coyne again this morning. Is there an anticipated timetable on when that one could start? I'd imagine once 333 is clad, the Coyne Building could be removed and then this one could start too? With all the overtime work on 333 I wonder if Sterling Bay is hot to trot to get the next one in for this cycle too?

I'd imagine, I just meant the major/tallest ones (although you may have been referring to those).

The Crain's article made it sound like most could probably slip in there within the next year or so and be fine. I think we'd need to worry less about 1000m and OCS since they'll supposedly start in January.

It's 400LSD, LSE1 and Tribune I'd be a bit more worried about.

This actually makes things sound quite positive. The Luxury condo market in Chi town is insane

They're majorly under the gun to deliver 333 on schedule. Anchor tenant needs to be out of the Mart by early 2020.

Agreed on 400 (stop baiting us with the terracotta bs) and Trib. Neither of those has been approved by the planning commission. LSE1 is more likely. 1000M seems less likely to me than a higher twin for NEMA. I fear that lot is jinxed somehow. What I am more worried about is WPS. I would hate to have to live with that gap tooth until the next cycle.

I take it you mean this cycle. I'd imagine something worthy would rise on such prime real estate eventually.

LSE1 is one of my favorites (and close to 1000' now)

Yea, although maybe we could end up with something better if we wait it out.

A higher twin for NEMA would be awesome, but why do you say 1000M is less likely? If both could happen that'd be just great.

WPS all but has an anchor tenant locked up... I'm not worried at all
