a 1960’s box for 2021 in Chicago’s premiere neighborhood. Makes sense. NOT!
Unless this has some truly spectacular detailing, which seems unlikely, the only thing gilded about this project will be the devloper’s profit margin.
spectacular detailing? An Ethan Allen showroom is more spectacular than the lobby rendering……
Sad trombone
Truly embarrassing for the city.
It is truly embarrassing to deface our city’s premier neighborhood like this. Imagine this totally OK looking building standing among the architectural giants of a Chipotle, a Walgreen’s, and a Lou Malnati’s. The horror!
really embarrassing.
thank you! this is seriously so ugly and detrimental to the city.
J – note I said I was hoping for good detailing, not saying it was good detailing. On the other hand, the renderings usually look better than the end result, so probably won’t be great.
agreed………probably? Look at the rendering: windows on the 2nd level. Look at the construction: concrete block. Fake windows. Fake details. A bad 60’s squat building on a major intersection of Chicago’s premiere neighborhood. NO EXCUSE.
Gold coast is simply not chicagos premier neighborhood anymore and this is actually totally appropriate. GC is a neighborhood sized retirement home for old money as I’ve ever known it and this shows it.
