Real progress is being made at the 400 Lake Shore North Tower as it reaches double digits in Streeterville. Concrete for the 12th floor was poured last week; crews expect to be on or near a three-day cycle now that they’ve risen beyond the podium and three below-grade levels, and moved up to the residential floors. The tower will have 72 stories when complete.
No longer hidden below sidewalk level, 400 Lake Shore has risen above eye level along DuSable Lake Shore Drive, on its way to 72 stories. While that may be distracting to drivers zipping up and down The Drive, it’s quite a show for everyone else, as LR Contracting and BOWA Construction continue their work on the Streeterville residential tower.
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.
Let’s take a final look for the year at construction progress on 400 Lake Shore North Tower. The Streeterville residential tower, the tallest building currently under construction in Chicago, is really starting to show along Lake Shore Drive and the Ogden Slip.
Construction progress continues on the 400 Lake Shore North Tower at the old Chicago Spire development site in Streeterville. Now that the Spire cofferdam has been filled in and excavated, it’s hidden from sight as the tower’s lower floors come into view. Amidst a sea of rebar, the ramp down to the lower parking levels is visible, and there’s a glimpse into the lowest two levels of sub-basement, while the rest of the site has grown even in height to the top of the concrete core.
