Details have been revealed for the second building within the long-dormant Riverline development at 910 South Wells Street in the South Loop. These details come as the Chicago Department of Planning and Development approves the revised site plan for 910 Wells. Efforts for the project are being led by CMK Companies, with Gensler serving as the design architect.
The City of Chicago has issued a permit for a Liebherr 316 EC-H 12 Litronic tower crane for the continued construction at 1630 South Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. CMK Properties has three apartment projects in the works on a two-block segment of Wabash, and it looks like 1630 will be the next one to restart. The permit became reality yesterday, March 7.
Renderings have been revealed for a pair of upcoming South Loop projects that have been in the works for a few years. Located at 1630, 1700, and 1730 S Wabash Avenue, we’ve only seen elevations of one of these as the others are set to rise as-of-right. All three proposals are being led by CMK Companies, who updated their site with the images.
The first few levels of exterior glass have been installed on 1717 Michigan, the South Loop residential building from CMK Companies formerly known as 1723 South Michigan. The construction site is also notable for what it doesn’t have: a tower crane. That’s been taken down now that the building is topped out. The construction hoist at the south end of the structure will do the rest of the heavy lifting from here on out.
The first piles were driven into the ground at 1010 South Wells Street in the South Loop on Thursday, marking the beginning of the Riverline residential development. Eschewing caissons, those piles will provide the foundation for this 21-story, 386-unit building from CMK Properties. 1010 South Wells is the first, and northernmost, parcel to be developed for the multi-structure plan.
