Construction has kicked off on a new public plaza located at 2550 North Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square.

Caisson work is underway for 7 West Elm, the 28-story residential tower where Lou Malnati’s and Barnes & Noble once stood in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Thatcher Foundations has their rigs on the site, surrounded by the usual array of corrugated tubes, rebar cages, and iron liners, as they drill and fill shafts below the surface. A permit issued on September 12 allowed this phase of construction, including the caissons and foundation work through the second floor. It came through with a reported cost of $5 million.
