Crane Down, Glass Up at JDL’s One Chicago

Since YIMBY’s construction tour of One Chicago in July, the tower crane has been disassembled and the parapet completed for the taller east tower of the massive two-tower development in River North. The aforementioned near-supertall stands 76 stories and 971 feet, while the shorter west tower reaches 49 stories and 574 feet.

JDL is the developer of the 2.1 million-square-foot complex, having begun construction in 2019.
