Something neat about this renovation is that they are building a huge 10,000 SF rooftop deck. Will be really cool once it's complete.

Wish that the renovation included a restoration of the facade. That building is really beat up above the 3rd floor. Decades of cheap repairs have made the building look seriously neglected.

That will be a thrilling day to see when the demo claw takes its first bite out of this trash. In the meantime that 5' tall clean white concrete block base will make an excellent canvas for the local street rats to tag with half assed 10' long tags which will no doubt be sandblasted off leaving an event larger version of the tag etched into the concrete.
Is that really the final treatment of the ground level? If it is, that is inexcusable.

West Loop Restaurant Más Loses Lease As Developer Plans Future Of Building

...Two other shops, Perman Wine Selections and Harold's Chicken Shack, also lost their leases, Garrison confirmed. The developer is in advanced discussions with "several exciting tenants" to sign leases for Class A retail space on the first floor of the building once the renovation is complete, he said.

The building's second floor will be transformed into a single-tenant creative office space with a private rooftop deck and 10 dedicated parking spaces.

As part of the rehab work, R2 Companies plans to commission a "fabulous mural" for the alley and will be doing extensive work on the masonry, windows, mechanical systems and exterior of the building.

I see this every day, it is awesome when they animate the lighting... it looks like silhouettes of people walking past it... not sure what they are doing to the building itself though

Not particularly inspiring, but better than all the demolition they planned previously:
1720 N Halsted - 14 apartments

1818 N Halsted - 7 apartment


---
1523 W Howard - not sure if this is an active/real proposal, but came across this project here

The JGMA site has a few other perspectives Looks like it would be on the SW corner of Garfield and Michigan, which is currently an empty lot.

I noticed that SCB has a masterplan up for UofC's Arts Block. Given that they've already unveiled a design for the reconstruction of the building immediately west of the tracks, and the Garfield station improvements announced a few months back, I wonder what the timeline is for the remaining empty lots.

With these plans in place it makes me wish that the old Schulze/Butternut bakery building could be used for mixed use residential instead of a data center.
