The City of Chicago issued a full building permit on August 6 to allow the 400 Lake Shore North Tower to continue construction through full height. The 72-story residential skyscraper from Related Midwest can now maintain progress unabated in Streeterville, as the concrete core continues its rise above the old Chicago Spire Cofferdam, and the replacement ramp from Lake Shore Drive takes form. There is also an incredible amount of excavation still ongoing at the site.
