Additional funding has been approved by the Chicago Community Development Commission for the next phase of the Lathrop Homes redevelopment around 2712 N Hoyne Avenue. Earlier this year we covered the project when it gained funding approval from the CHA, now an additional $25 million in TIF money is on its way towards full city approval.
Construction progress continues on the 400 Lake Shore North Tower at the old Chicago Spire development site in Streeterville. Now that the Spire cofferdam has been filled in and excavated, it’s hidden from sight as the tower’s lower floors come into view. Amidst a sea of rebar, the ramp down to the lower parking levels is visible, and there’s a glimpse into the lowest two levels of sub-basement, while the rest of the site has grown even in height to the top of the concrete core.
It has been revealed that the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI) within The 78 has been canceled. The project located at 1519 S Wells Street has been in the works for years and saw several reductions in scale since it was first announced. The cancellation was first reported by Crain’s, dealing a blow to the massive development led by Related Midwest that has been trying to lock down additional anchors.
It’s time to catch up on construction progress at the North Tower at 400 Lake Shore. The build team of LR Contracting, BOWA Construction, and Goebel Forming continues to make headway on the Streeterville residential tower, with concrete and rebar still dominating the site.
The concrete core of the 400 Lake Shore North Tower continues to rise, and all evidence of the cofferdam from the Chicago Spire dream has disappeared, at Lake Shore Drive and the Ogden Slip in Streeterville. The team of LR Contracting and BOWA Construction, along with concrete contractor Goebel Forming, are making great progress on bringing Related Midwest’s 72-story residential skyscraper to life.
