Cool CHICAGO | Boom rundown - everything over 12 floors. v6


And so it begins again. This list was originally created by Steely Dan. A tremendous amount of credit is owed to him for years of steadfast updates. I will merely attempt to update his already well-designed list. Here’s a link to the last page of v5: CHICAGO: boom rundown - everything over 12 floors. v5

The list starts in 1999 because that's when 1 Superior Place was completed. It was the first 500+ foot tower built in Chicago in many years and it signaled the return of large amounts of highrise construction to the city of Chicago after a bit of a hiatus during the mid 1990’s. Click on the individual building names to be taken to the corresponding Emporis building page to learn more and see pics/renderings. You can also click on the word “website” at the end of each building entry line in the list to be taken to the official project website to learn even more and for developer/marketing contact information.

The buildings are ranked according to the structural height per the guidelines of Emporis. Where no roof height is listed, it is either unknown or the structural height and the roof height are one and the same.

Notes:
[font=times]
* - The information for the proposed towers may not be entirely accurate, but it's the best that we have to go on for now. Also keep in mind that there are many more “loosely proposed” towers in the Lake Shore East, Central Station, and River East mega projects that are not included here. This list only contains proposed towers that have been given individual names and designs as opposed to theoretical future towers that exist only as generic ideas within the context of master plans.

** - Blue Cross-Blue Shield is an existing office tower that currently stands 411 ft./32 floors tall. The tower was designed to accommodate a significant vertical addition. Current plans call for a 25 story addition which would take the tower to a total of 57 floors.

*** – Union Station is an early 20th century, 8 story train station. The structure was designed to accommodate a significant vertical addition. Current plans call for an 18 story addition which would take the building to a total of 26 floors.

All of the credit for this thread goes to the hard-working and extremely dedicated Chicago editors and photographers of Emporis. It is they who track down developers and architects to get height data and renderings. It is they who schlep around town taking pictures and keeping track of the status of all the various projects in Chicago. I merely arrange the information they gather into this simple, concise, and easy to read list.

This is looking great! I was just looking at the page one yesterday and all of the bad pic links and old info. Good to see it up to date and refreshed!

Great work!

That compilation wore me out breezing through it. I can't imagine actually storing away all this in ones head. Chicago is overwhelming...in an incredibly awesome way.

Just the thread name. At some point, the "BOOM" is over, and the thread title becomes stale. This opportunity may or may not be a good place to draw the line (the projects continuing on today being, of course, products of the boom). As for ideas for a 6th-gen title, maybe "high-rises general thread" or "non-supertall high-rises" or something generic like that. Or we could stick with "boom" in a sort of broad and amorphous sense, and consider it a "millennium boom" in that it would be reflecting this century's new aesthetic, technological, political (e.g. pro-green), and economic (e.g. few corporate towers; rediscovery of urban residential; tourism explosion; etc.) paradigm. Makes me think we could start a new thread just to discuss what to name this thread...

yeah, "boom" won't be a fair name for long, especially looking at the bodies on the floor in the on hold section

Well, I think next year after the majority of the boomers are completed might be a good time to start 1999-2009.

Anyway, thanks ofr doing this Hydrogen.

the 150 E. Ontario Render should be updated to the most current one.

Meh - I like the boom name, regardless of whether or not it's accurate. Maybe it's just familiarity...

Anyway, good job on updating the list.

The term boom is becoming increasingly inapt. Then again, compared to most other cities we have quite a few projects still left on the table. We were spoiled for a long time and now the rug has been pulled out from under us. We're a little bitter and crestfallen. But now is the time to start turning more attention to smaller projects that will continue to help develop the urban fabric.

Not only inapt, but increasingly cliché (which has bugged me for a while).

There are some pretty good looking project on the list. I'm excited for the future and I really do believe both Waterview and the Spire will straighten themselves out.

Great to see the new thread, thanks hydro!


Are there any news regarding Lincoln Park 2520, btw? The last I've read there were some demolition works going on at the site. Are they still goin to manage finishing it in 2008 for real? Lovely tower anyway, it deserves an own thread!

And what about the Flair Tower? The list says it's U/C - anybody who got some pictures? And why isn't there a website? I want some promising, shiny rendering video and price tables!

Anyway, I've found a page with some additional graphics of the Flair Tower: www.rivernorthresidents.com

^ Stellar photos. And 540 LSD isn't even a curved building - you've got fisheye effect on the left side but not on the right - kind of a neat result.

Updates for 111 West Chestnut


This was posted on the last page of version 5..

Updated rendering of the taller design...


Updated Stats..
28 stories...360 feet (roof)...370 feet (Mechanical)

48 units ranging size from 2500-3500 square feet each

80 parking spaces, including 7 for the neighboring condo conversion which had spaces on that site in the past before the Jewish group purchased the site with the intent of building the now forever stalled community center.




I am Hydrogen, thanks for taking on the task of updating the boom rundown.

I posted these on the last page of the old Boom rundown thread so they may have been missed.

There's a website, but with little content: flairtower.com

i_am_hydrogen - You may want to add the link for Flair Tower on the first page. And thanks for picking it up after the superb job that Steely Dan did. The first page has been a great source of information and I'm glad it will continue.

If you read the River North Residents page that you lifted those images from, you'd see that McCaffery, the developer, has changed Flair Tower into a rental building. Therefore, they do not need pre-sales or a marketing campaign, since they don't need to sell units. I assume they will begin marketing the building through the many apartment-finding services in the city.
