Curtain wall glazing has begun installation for the 73-story 1000M apartment tower at 1000 S Michigan Avenue in South Loop. Developer trio JK Equities, Time Equities, and Oak Capitals have planned for a total of 738 rental units in this most recent iteration, which will stand 788 feet upon its completion.
New details have been revealed for the Pop! Heights community park at 11227 S Halsted Street in West Roseland. Located mid-block between 112th Street and W 113th Street, the project replaces an empty lot and is a part of the greater Public Outdoor Plaza (POP!) program. The Department of Planning and Development along with the Far South Community Development Corporation are behind the new park which is being designed by the Lamar Johnson Collaborative to serve the near Pullman area.
A permit was issued last week for a new three-story residential building located at 3019 N Clybourn Avenue in the North Center neighborhood. The owner is listed as Total Construction Service Inc. The new construction is slated as a three-dwelling masonry building with a basement and a rear open deck that connects across levels. Plans also indicate the presence of a detached three-vehicle garage with a finished roof deck.
Chicago’s formative architectural history is not always visible if one were to walk around. Much like the city’s dozens of demolished high rises (more on that later), the never-built can also influence the realm of architecture despite lacking a physical presence. That is why every Sunday leading up to Halloween, YIMBY will cover a cancelled tower of increasing height, what lead to its demise, and what it might have looked like on the skyline. The model screenshots will retain previous weeks’ towers, though they will not be carried over to standard posts.
Initial details have been revealed for two new developments near the recently opened Pullman National Monument in Pullman. While we do not know the formal address for each, the first will be a hotel located just north of the intersection of E 111th Street and S Doty Avenue, with the other being a grocery store at the corner of E 130th Street and S Eberhart Avenue. Both of these will be replacing empty lots and are led by different developers, bringing much needed services to the quickly growing area.
