This is going to make a nice addition to the skyline in that area. But I have to ask....what's with all of these architects designing the same looking buildings? I mean come on....

Starting to peak over Michigan avenue.

Hyatt Center looks so beautiful.... I can only hope that Legacy will be an equally-good contribution to our skyline.

By the way - does anybody know how sales for Legacy have gone? I hope that this building has enough sold units to finish construction, or we're gonna have those god-awful construction braces on Wabash for the next 6 years because the facades are landmarked.

any new pictures or news on this building?

this building is so hidden.. I cant wait till it pops up overhead.

What makes you think completion of this project is in jeopardy?

I never said it was in jeopardy. I hadn't heard sales figures for awhile, either indicating that sales were a smashing success or a rousing failure. I didn't know which one was true.

I suppose they never would have begun construction without loans substantial enough to cover the whole cost, so the building will be finished regardless of the sales performance. To obtain those loans, Mesa must have reached a certain sales milestone.

The sales office said 85% sold this past weekend.

The tower's getting pretty close to being visible from Michigan. You can clearly see it over all the framing that supports the existing facades when you're standing on the NW corner of Mad/State - so, it shouldn't be too much longer before the top is visible over the Michigan Streetwall given that you're far enough away.

Just got a letter from Legacy stating once they hit 15 they will be on a 3 day per floor cycle.

^ :banana::banana::cheers: Yes! By the middle of summer, this will begin showing prominence on the street wall.

I just walked by site along W. side of Wabash. I wish I had a camera - they are making nice progress on installing cladding on W side and I think it looks very nice. Also, this is up approx 22-25 stories now. I'd request anyone to post some updated pix. when you get a chance. Thanks.

its a shame its going to block the sears from parts of Mil park but i still love this building. seems to have taken forever to get going, but its making fast progress now.

why the barely noticeable curve on the west facade? is that the big "design move" for the side addressing the city? seems a little arbitrary in my opinion in that it has absolutely nothing to do with the hard-edged "concept" of the building, but then no more arbitrary than the same token curve they used on the north facade of their randolph tower.

nice glazing though.

Nice fall day downtown. Notice the new glass on 55 E. Monroe.

http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/2161/legacydp1.jpg

^^ What's the plan for 55 E. Monroe? Just new facade on the condo levels?

Nice fall day downtown. Notice the new glass on 55 E. Monroe.

http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/2161/legacydp1.jpg

Nice pic. Does anyone have a rendering on what they are gonna do with 55 E Monroe? The changes so far look pretty promising.

^They're only re-cladding half of the building, so it looks pretty ridiculous.
http://www.parkmonroe.com/images/pic_home_01c.jpg

Is it going to be 9 or 14 floors that will be re clad at 55 Monroe? Some sources say 9 some say 14 and its really confusing. From the looks of it right now I am starting to think it is 9, but the renderings show 14. Does anyone have any reliable information? In my opinion the more the better. It would be great if they did the office portion also, it would take away the effect of one of the most hideous buildings in Chicago.

Why not just re-clad the entire building? That's going to look stupid!

Not as stupid as 1/3 in nice brand new glass, and 2/3 in cheap & old 1960's glass.

Has anyone seen the plans for the building renovation to the left in the photo? The one they are taking out the exterior wall? Will the entire building be done?

nope. just the top half, about double what is shown in that pic. will look kinda strange. (see www.parkmonroe.com for a rendering)

This project did a wonderful thing integrating itself in the existing footprint of the area. You can pass the building on Wabash without noticing it is there, while at the same time being a nice addition to the Chicago skyline seen from the park. One of the best projects at this moment in my opinion. :)

Thats things gotta be about topped out

Maybe they will throw another 20 floors on it : p

It looks like they've finished at least 1 of the 3 mechanical penthouse floors, so almost topped out.

That's what we were told by Legacy's sales director, who also reported the project is about o87% sold and on track for move-ins starting in September. See more info and a current pic at YoChicago (http://tinyurl.com/cgwmbf).

Joe Askins, my YoChicago editor, has scheduled a video interview with the developer at the building this coming week. We'll be going up to some high floors and shooting video and stills.

If you have any questions for the developer, post them or message me and I'll do my best to get answers.

This is going to look way better than i was expecting.

Our photo / video tour at the top of Legacy with the developer has been rescheduled several times due to weather. We're all hoping for a clear, sunny day and are currently scheduled for a week from tomorrow.

If you have any questions for the developer, we'll pose and report the answers.

... with a focus on Legacy. Watch the video at YoChicago (http://tinyurl.com/cyvlgp).

how much left on this badboy?

Just the mechanical penthouse, which they've already started. You can kind of see it growing in the pics above. I'll post another tonight, taken from 15 floors higher.

i work down the street from this building. i see it every day. it is clean. it is sleek. it is thoroughly modern....but IN MY OPINION, it is totally soulless, right down to the completely arbitrary slightly curved facade on wabash.

as much as i hated hearing clients tell me my own stuff "didn't look like a residential building", i gotta admit it about this one: it doesn't look like a residential building. this feels like an extremely well-detailed suburban office building with a few balconies cut in.

i respect scb a lot, but isn't this really just a tall background building? it makes the p/h towers at roosevelt and LSD look overly baroque in their design which is saying a lot because scb's drawing weigh about 25 pounds more than p/h's.

i'm curious, what do you all think?

what defines what "looks like a residential building"? balconies? truth be told, in terms of most international-style design, i don't see any differentiation between purposes (which I suppose is kind of the point). I don't see anything in the JHC that makes part of it inherently residential anymore than anything in the Sears Tower that makes it inherently office. The only thing I can definitely state about what makes a building look "residential" is the presence of balconies everywhere, but the absence thereof does not automatically make me assume it's an office building.

but IN MY OPINION, it is totally soulless, right down to the completely arbitrary slightly curved facade on wabash.

I happen to like it, if only for it's height and glassy-ness. Helps to balance out the stone streetwall along MI Ave. But it doesn't have a truly distinctive character that's memorable, I suppose.

Assuming you could change/add/delete anything, to 'give it soul', what would you do?

i personally think there's too much consistency in the glass. i like a little more expression of materiality. maybe some metal panels or spandrels? maybe a little more transparency in the glass like 600 fairbanks and 860-880 LSD?

I like that it's all glass, because it's clean and simple. But you're right, 600 Fairbanks is all glass, but seems to have more character.

One more, from higher up, with the lake in the background. (Excuse the glare.)
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/246/legacy1c.jpg

I thought this was going to be higher.

I am assuming this picture was taken from 300 N LaSalle. Waterview Tower would totally block this view! Maybe it's blessing in disguise for 300 N LaSalle.

For some reason this really stands out to me. the building is just kinda BAM! right there behind the Michigan Ave streetwall with not much around it. Compared to Trump it really shows itself and draws your attention. Not sure if in a good way though...

We rode the construction elevator to the 72nd floor of Legacy this afternoon, found that the views were obstructed by screening, and retreated to the wide-open 71st floor. Here are some teaser shots taken by me - we'll have lots more early next week, including panoramas from our staff photographer Michael Kardas. And, we'll have some panoramic videos to give you a 360 view from the project.

In my take, these are some of the very best views to be had in Chicago. The 71st floor will be a single unit 10,000 square-foot penthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Our thanks to Jim Hanson of Mesa Development (http://mesadevelopment.com/) for hosting us on this tour. According to Jim, the top of the building will be lit, and the lighting will be powered by photovoltaic cells. You can hear his description of that when we post videos next week.

Shot by Joe Askins, our editor, this afternoon. The unit we shot from has 13-foot ceilings and will have floor-to-ceiling windows, except for a foot-high knee-wall.

Much larger versions of this image are available at Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/yochicago1/3450603603/sizes/l/in/photostream/). Pardon the distortion, but we're amateur photographers. I'm betting the panos from our staff photographer will be dazzling.

Me and cbotnyse too:)

We've posted a brief video at YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr-6TdHDeJ0) of views from 4 sides of the 71st floor penthouse. It's a 10,000 square foot unit occupying the entire floor, with 13 foot ceilings and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows. A video interview with the developer will be up shortly.

Beautiful shots, Thanx.

Great views and tower, thanks for the photos.

Wow, Jan, you really get around. Splendid perspective up there. Thanks a lot for posting the pics.

Also, the radial pigeon shit on the top of The Bean in #8 is really funny.

Jan, I love that cluster of towers in the view straight to the north, where you can see Mather Tower, Carbide & Carbon, and the rest.

It would be great to see that view at dusk with the city lights lighting up the towers.

Great photos, Jan.

1) This tower has some of the best views ever

Excellent update, Tylow.

is it just me or does it feel like the construction went like this....

beginning - painfully slow
mid section - extremely fast
top and windows - painfully slow again

maybe its on hold, there hasn't been any facade put up for atleast a month

maybe its on hold, there hasn't been any facade put up for atleast a month

I feared this might be true....but really? its SO close to the top

well, why else would the facade just come to a halt ?

well, why else would the facade just come to a halt ?

hell if I know. just seems unlikely that they run out of money with only a few floors left. but I suppose its possible.

Looks to me like the glazing is continuing -- wrabbit's photo of June 1st shows 10 floors without glass, then the photos from June 14th show only 7 or 8 unglazed. Maybe just slowdown to do glass supply or something (big penthouse windows may be special).

Anyway, the crane keeps moving. Looks like this one is still alive!

thats what I thought too. I didnt think it came to a complete stop, just really slow

maybe you are right.. I think its on hold. I havn't seen anything done in days

thanks chi, I wonder what is taking so long. it seems to me that the facade has stopped

Maybe they are getting the glasses from China?

more like mars

I think it's still going up slowly though, today it looked like only a few floors left to the top.

^^ what do you mean ? it's T/O already

I'm fairly certain he meant: a few more floors of glass left to the top.

Regardless of this being on a temporary hold or not a building this far into construction wont end up being another Waterview for sure... At least when something like the facade seems to be on hold, there are a million possible reasons for the delay. A good majority of them non project threatening.

I can't wait for the top of the building to be all facade-ed out. This is one of the rare cases for me where I did not like the rendering but have been absolutely blown away by its actual construction. This building rules.

I'm sure what you say is true, but under these market/economic conditions, I wouldn't be shocked if this stopped in its tracks.

^^ Nice less common view. It looks like it angles pretty sharply into a triangle, I mean, sharper than I was expecting. Makes me love this building even more.

Still working on the cladding

Nei3ls, I think you captured the inspiration for Legacy's inset balconies in the shot, looking deeper into the background we see the east side of Chase Plaza.

Thanks for all the photos.

And unfortunately, it looks like the top 1/3rd of Park Monroe is trying to tag along as well. Ugg.

Yeah, it was a great picture, except the Park Monroe makes it look a lot fatter than it actually is.

YoChicago's Joe Askins visited Legacy on Friday and has an update, with photos (http://**************/all-in-the-details-legacys-lobby-and-jewlers-row-facades/11848/).

wow!
Chicago is changing shape so fast these days. beautiful.

What a nice looking new tower!
shaping the skyline of Chicago.

Wow, this went up fast...I dont remember seeing anything under construction that was that tall when I was there last May. I do remember the construction site, but that is about it.

I really cant wait to see this building in person, I have a feeling it will wind up in a few photographs of mine.
