6 stories? Who outlawed high-rises along the lakefront? With all the growth in key demographics such as college educated workers and households making six-figure incomes one would think this prolonged building boom would have included explosive apartment/condo-tower developments along the lakefront. Instead there’s only been a handful of buildings around 200’over the last decade. The tallest building along the shore is still from the 1970’s. It makes absolutely zero sense. If those types of investments aren’t justified today I don’t know how they were ever feasible.
Could anybody tell me when, or who to contact to find out when, the loud banging from the cranes will be done? It is quite a disturbance working from home.
When will the units be ready and how could I be placed on your listing for one of the units. Do you have a site where I could go to fill out an application.
