YIMBY checked on the construction of One Chicago Square, a 2.2 million-square-foot mixed-use development in River North. With the taller east tower reaching its 28th of 74 floors, and the shorter west tower reaching its 15th of 49 floors, both towers now stand close to their respective one-third marks. Additionally, the facade on the taller tower has been installed up to its 16th floor.
Foundation permits were filed earlier this year for Onni Group’s 32-story residential building at 354 N Union Avenue, at the northeast edge of West Loop. The site is bound by N Union Avenue and N Halsted Street on its east and west edges, respectively, as well as the neighboring K2 Apartments at the northern edge. Nearby bus route access includes a three-minute walk east to Route 56’s Desplaines & Fulton, as well as a seven-minute walk northwest to Route 8’s Halsted & Hubbard. Access to the CTA L includes the Grand Station serviced by the Blue Line, which is an eight-minute walk northwest, and the Clinton Station serviced by the Green and Pink Lines which is a ten-minute walk southeast. Beyond bus and light rail, the property sits at a major transit junction between the Kennedy Expressway, Metra rail lines, and Union Pacific rail lines.
YIMBY has recent images for Moceri + Roszak’s 26-floor Parkline Chicago at 160 N Wabash Avenue in The Loop. Sitting at the northeast corner of N Wabash Avenue and E Randolph Street, the centrally located site has a myriad of nearby transportation options. Access to the Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple CTA L Lines is available via a three-minute walk northwest to State & Lake Station. Access to the Red Line is available via a two-minute walk west to Lake Station. Additionally, bus stops include Michigan & Lake/Randolph, which is a three-minute walk east and serviced by ten different routes, as well as State & Lake and State & Randolph, both a two-minute walk west and serviced by five different routes.
Construction has reached the 13th floor of the 15-story Bentham development at 146 W Erie Street in River North. Located at the intersection of W Erie Street and N LaSalle Drive, the site sits near a wide range of eating and entertainment options, including Chicago’s flagship McDonald’s restaurant and a Hard Rock Cafe. Sedgwick Development is both the building’s developer and designer.
Permits were filed back in April for a seven-story residential project at 1122 W Chicago Avenue. This triangular lot, formed by the intersection of W Chicago Avenue and the diagonally-oriented N Milwaukee Avenue, is steps away from the nearby CTA L Blue Line via Chicago station.
