Cold, Sunny Morning Shows Big Progress At 400 Lake Shore

Chicago’s tallest construction project continues to rise out of the Chicago Spire cofferdam, as the North Tower at 400 Lake Shore grows upward. There’s still some outward growth here as well, with the tower’s footprint spreading across the construction site in Streeterville.

As vertical progress climbs, the viewing opportunities expand as well, with vantage points at Ogden Slip and the Chicago Riverwalk coming into play as venues for skyscraper gazing.

Great post! I’ve walked by this several times recently and it’s rapidly climbing. The visual effect this will have from lakefront views is going to be breathtaking.

Can it be seen from LSD yet? Just start the other tower already. Welcome the site coordination chaos.

  I’ve seen it while walking over the Navy Pier Flyover. It might be a floor or two away from being visible on LSD

  Yes you can! I stare at it dangerously every day during my commute.

So happy that big yawning gap is gone. Hope they use high-quality glass. This could be a stunner!

It’s remarkable how they can continue to do concrete work in these temperatures.

Finally, a significant architectural design is being added to our skyline. Thanks for the photos and excited to see the progress.
