  1. Not bad.. I’m a little surprised they aren’t going for a tower/something taller.

  2. Looks like ‘One Chicago’ will be the only ambitious project we see along Chicago Ave. The remaining underutilized lots on the south side of the corridor have low-rise developments planned as well. This could have transformed into a major east/west canyon but far too many lots lack intensity. River North’s infill has been quite uninspired and particularly underwhelming in scale.

  3. Beats the current vacant lot but I agree this should be higher…

  4. I wanna move in!!!! What’s the skinny on that?
