Glazing has neared the top on the exterior of a residential tower at 633 S LaSalle Street in the South Loop. Comprising 358 beds — a combination of apartments and co-living units — the 18-story tower is a joint effort from Q Investment Partners and Melrose Ascension Capital.
1723 South Michigan, a 13-story, 149-unit apartment project from developer CMK Companies, has set a tower crane base on the construction site in the South Loop. A pending tower crane permit on file with the City of Chicago will allow for the full assembly of the crane once the permit is issued.

Construction appears to have halted at 1630 S Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. Located just south of the intersection with E 16th Street, we covered the project in January as crews began foundation and piling work.
