Yesterday we told you that construction is underway for the first tower at Halsted Point on Goose Island. Today, we’re showing you. Just a short canoe trip up the North Branch of the Chicago River from the casino construction site, a crew has started drilling and filling caissons for the first residential tower on the sprawling lot.
Construction has kicked off for the first tower of Halsted Pointe at 931 North Halsted Street on Goose Island. Sitting on the southeastern tip of the island, Halsted Pointe is replacing the now-demolished Greyhound bus facility just across the river from the upcoming Bally’s Casino. Canadian developer Onni has been working on the proposal for a few years now.
Caissons are finished, a groundbreaking ceremony has been held, and the tower crane is in the air for the Southbridge residential tower at 2305 South State Street in the Near South Side. A shiny yellow Liebherr 316 EC-H model began its rise on Tuesday, as crews from general contractor McHugh Construction, concrete contractor McHugh Concrete, and tower crane gurus Morrow Equipment got to work on assembly.
