No longer hidden below sidewalk level, 400 Lake Shore has risen above eye level along DuSable Lake Shore Drive, on its way to 72 stories. While that may be distracting to drivers zipping up and down The Drive, it’s quite a show for everyone else, as LR Contracting and BOWA Construction continue their work on the Streeterville residential tower.
Chicago’s tallest construction project continues to rise out of the Chicago Spire cofferdam, as the North Tower at 400 Lake Shore grows upward. There’s still some outward growth here as well, with the tower’s footprint spreading across the construction site in Streeterville.
Permits have been issued for the residential conversion of the lofts building at 230 E Ohio Street in Streeterville. Located just east of the intersection with N St. Clair Street, the project joins multiple across the city and in the area pivoting to residential after record high office vacancy levels. The conversion is being led by Horizon Realty Group.
Let’s take a final look for the year at construction progress on 400 Lake Shore North Tower. The Streeterville residential tower, the tallest building currently under construction in Chicago, is really starting to show along Lake Shore Drive and the Ogden Slip.
Construction has officially kicked off on the upcoming Navy Pier Marina located along the north side of the pier at roughly 848 E Grand Avenue. After almost a decade in development, the project cleared its final hurdles with the city earlier this year after being delayed by the previous mayor. We now have a potential opening date and additional rendering.
