The concrete core is rising from the foundation at the University of Chicago’s state-of-the-art Cancer Center on its Hyde Park campus. The University and general contractor Turner Construction received a foundation permit on December 12 of last year. The “core and shell” permit issued May 9 of this year authorized them to build the core seen in the photos, which will rise nine stories in total, including one below grade.
Construction progress has reached the underside of the sixth floor at 919 W Fulton Market in the Fulton Market District. That’s where Fulton Street Companies is erecting an 11-story, 350,000-square-foot office building in Chicago’s Near West Side. Designed by Chicago architecture firm FitzGerald, 919 West Fulton will be adjoined to the neighboring six-story residential building being converted into office space, bringing the total square footage of the project to 530,000sf.
Glazing has neared the top on the exterior of a residential tower at 633 S LaSalle Street in the South Loop. Comprising 358 beds — a combination of apartments and co-living units — the 18-story tower is a joint effort from Q Investment Partners and Melrose Ascension Capital.
A tower crane base has sprouted at the 220 North Ada construction site in the West Loop. General contractor Clayco and concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction will soon erect the full crane. That means this 29-story, 308-unit apartment tower will be going vertical in no time.
At eighth place in Chicago YIMBY’s year-end countdown is 300 N Michigan Avenue, a 47-story mixed-use skyscraper developed by Sterling Bay at the northeast corner of The Loop. Rising 523 feet to its pinnacle, this nearly complete tower will house retail within its podium, a hotel on floors six to 15, and apartments on the 17th through 46th floors. The hotel portion will be a 280-key CitizenM, while the residential portion, dubbed “Millie on Michigan” will yield a total of 289 rental units.
