The tower crane base is in the ground at 1010 South Wells Street, the first phase of CMK Companies’ Riverline development in the South Loop. The keen eye of reader Alex (MrSouthLoop on Instagram) spotted a truck delivering the stub Thursday morning, and it was set in place immediately. Around the base, foundation work continues by general contractor Brandts Build and their concrete partner, Goebel Forming.
Demolition of a 1920s-era industrial-style office building is underway at 900 South Clinton Street in the South Loop. It was most recently the home of Susanin’s Auctioneers & Appraisers, whose signage is still in the glass-block windows along the east-facing façade. An internet search for the architect has proven fruitless, though indications are that the building was heavily renovated between 1998 and 2000.
Now topped out and craneless, 626 South Wabash is within a couple stories of completing its exterior glass installation down in the South Loop. The apartment tower from DAC Developments and Melrose Ascension Capital topped out in October, then brought the tower crane down in November.
Excavation is underway at 1010 South Wells Street in the South Loop, as the first tower for the Riverline development comes back to life. Piles were driven on the site last winter, after which the lot went quiet. Now, what appears to be the beginning of foundation work has arrived.
