Cloud Gate, by far Chicago’s shiniest art piece and tourist attraction, is back open to the public after almost a year behind construction fencing. The legume-shaped work by India-born British artist Anish Kapoor had been closed off to the public since August 2023 so Grainger Plaza and the podium on which the sculpture stands could be rebuilt. The City of Chicago announced on its Twitter account Sunday morning that The Bean is Back.

Demolition work is clearly evident at 100 West Randolph Street in The Loop, as the transformation of the Thompson Center for Google hits its stride. The ceremonial kickoff for the renovation took place earlier this week, but demolition work has been underway for a few weeks. Along with considerable progress at street level along the perimeter of the building, there’s also a gaping hole in the east facade of the Helmut Jahn classic in The Loop. Clark Construction is the general contractor tasked with redoing the office building so Google can move in upon rehab completion.
