The construction team of LR Contracting, BOWA Construction, and Goebel Forming jumped the tower crane at 400 Lake Shore in Streeterville this past weekend. Six new sections were delivered by truck to the site, and the erection crew placed them one at a time in the crane’s tower on Sunday. A permit allowing the crane to be tied in was issued by the city on March 10. The residential tower at 400 Lake Shore will yield 72 stories when completed.
Plans have been revealed for a new mixed-use hotel tower at 6402 S Stony Island Avenue in Woodlawn. Located on the corner with E 64th Street, the proposal would replace a long-term vacant lot just a block south of the upcoming Obama Center. Efforts for the development are being led by Aquinnah Investment Trust with architecture firm Stantec working on the design.
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.
This past week, the tower crane has been erected for a new 43-story mixed-use development in West Loop’s Fulton Market District. Planned by Related Midwest and dubbed “900 Randolph,” this 495-foot-tall tower will offer a combination of ground-level retail and 300 apartment units on the above floors. While marketing materials both on-site and on the developer’s website have listed 900 W Randolph Street as the address, a tip to YIMBY indicated that the project would eventually be switched back to its official address, 164 N Peoria Street.
With demolition wrapped up and site prep underway, construction permits have now been issued for a 43-story mixed-use skyscraper at 906 W Randolph Street, located in West Loop‘s Fulton Market District. Co-developed by Tucker Development and Related Midwest, construction for the new edifice has been listed under the address 164 N Peoria Street. The development will provide both ground-level retail and 300 apartments on the upper floors, of which 20 percent will be affordable under the Affordable Requirements Ordinance. The developers will also contribute nearly $5 million to the neighborhood opportunity fund, which supports various infrastructure and commercial projects in Chicago’s west and south-side neighborhoods.
