Construction progress is ongoing at 1357 West Roosevelt Road on Chicago’s Near West Side. Yesterday, we checked in on progress one block east of here, at 1257 West Roosevelt. Both buildings are part of the Roosevelt Square development from Related Midwest and the Chicago Housing Authority. 1357 West Roosevelt Road was permitted for construction by the City of Chicago back in December 2022, and is not quite as far along in completion. The building is topped out, however, and most of its windows have been installed.

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.

The famous Chicago Spire cofferdam continues its fade into oblivion, as the concrete core for the North Tower at 400 Lake Shore has cleared the top of the former hole in the ground. The core got some help, of course, in the form of a severe haircut for the concrete-and-steel cofferdam, which is being cut away piece by piece.
