2034 North Racine Avenue

Initial details have been shared for a potential new high-speed rail connection between downtown Chicago and O’Hare International Airport. Dubbed the ‘O’Hare Flyer,’ the train aims to take passengers between the two in just 15 minutes, becoming the newest attempt to create a faster direct connection to one of the world’s busiest airports.

Construction progress has reached Level 9 on the apartment development at 310 West Huron Street in River North, which developer ZSD Corp  has now topped out. The residential floors are completed, with a few finishing touches still to be done on the ninth-floor amenity level located in the middle section of the building’s “thirds.” There remains a street crane on site, so some heavy lifting still needs to be done. Window installation is underway, with more glass showing on the rear of the building along the alley than on the Huron Street frontage, for now.
