Vertical progress by Brandts Build has reached the 15th floor on the residential tower at 1010 South Wells Street, the first building under construction for CMK Companies’ Riverline development in the South Loop. With the help of concrete contractor Goebel Forming, that’s 11 floors of concrete poured since we last dropped by the site in June, leaving six levels to go before they top out at 21 stories.
McDonald’s Park, where the Chicago Fire FC will begin playing their home matches in 2028, is going vertical at The 78 in the South Loop. Unsurprisingly, that three-dimensional progress is sprouting on the west side of the stadium, where the west tower crane has been installed and is putting the heavy stuff in its place.
The second tower for CMK Companies’ Riverline development received its pile permit on July 14, allowing construction to begin on the 28-story residential building at 910 South Wells Street in the South Loop. Those piles had been waiting in the Chicago Data Portal since February 27. The permit cites a reported cost of $1.25 million, and it’s rather specific, calling for 225 piles that will be driven to an approximate depth of 77 feet. A pending permit for the complete tower shows an application start date of January 14.
Construction progress has risen past the podium on the first Riverline residential tower at 1010 South Wells in the South Loop. Three-story concrete columns stand out at the east and west ends of the podium, ready to support 18 levels of apartments cantilevered along the South Branch of the Chicago River.
The first of two tower cranes for McDonald’s Park, the new soccer stadium under construction by and for the Chicago Fire Football Club, has been erected at The 78 in the South Loop. Permits for the West Crane and the East Crane both hit the Chicago Data Portal on April 14; the West Crane came through on April 21, with the other still pending.
