Could be nothing, or it could be something, but a soil sampler was spotted last week at Amtrak’s 14th Street rail yard in the South Loop, a potential site for a new baseball park for the Chicago White Sox.

Vertical progress by Brandts Build has reached the 15th floor on the residential tower at 1010 South Wells Street, the first building under construction for CMK Companies’ Riverline development in the South Loop. With the help of concrete contractor Goebel Forming, that’s 11 floors of concrete poured since we last dropped by the site in June, leaving six levels to go before they top out at 21 stories.
A pair of permits have been issued by the City of Chicago to erect three-flat residential buildings at 3330 and 3332 West Walnut Street in East Garfield Park. The permits each have application start dates of June 23, and both came through on August 10, a wait of 48 days in the data portal. Reported costs of $450,000 for each building are noted.
Construction is nearing its ultimate height at 2305 South State Street for the Southbridge residential tower on the city’s Near South Side. Contractors McHugh Construction and McHugh Concrete are working on the penthouse level of the 12-story, 80-unit apartment building, just a matter of days before they top the structure out for developer McCaffery Interest.
