New renderings have been revealed for the redevelopment of the Thompson Center at 100 W Randolph Street in The Loop. Sitting right in the heart of downtown, the massive structure has been at the center of many debates on preservation since the state announced its sale years ago. Now its new tenant and future owner Google has laid out its plans designed by JAHN Architects, the firm of the building’s original designer.
The first demolition permit has been issued for the massive renovation of the Thompson Center, located at 100 W Randolph Street in The Loop. With a value of $6 million, this permit will facilitate the removal of non-structural interior and exterior elements, paving the way for the forthcoming redevelopment.
The Prime Group’s 28-story hotel at 150 E Ontario Street is fast approaching structural completion in the Streeterville neighborhood. Slated to join the RIU Hotels and Resorts portfolio, the 345-foot edifice will feature 388 guest accommodations, complemented by an expansive lobby and an adjoining cafe positioned at the ground floor’s southeast corner.
A potential completion date has been revealed for the Thompson Center redevelopment at 100 W Randolph Street in The Loop. The massive building from 1985 was designed by famed architect Helmut Jahn, who fought for its preservation prior to his death when news of the structure’s sale first broke. This culminated with Google purchasing the structure last year for $105 million from The Prime Group who was originally selected by the state to buy the property for $70 million from a group of bids.
The 28-story hotel at 150 E Ontario Street has risen to approximately the two-thirds mark in the Streeterville neighborhood. The development, led by The Prime Group, will be a new addition to the RIU Hotels and Resorts chain. The 345-foot-tall structure will have 388 guest rooms, with a large lobby area and a connected cafe at the southeast corner of the ground floor.
