Daley hopes new West Loop apartment tower will have worldwide impact

by Brittany McHenry
May 06, 2008

Ground was broken Tuesday on a West Loop site for what will be Chicago's first green residential building.

“This project will not only stand in the history of Chicago, but I believe in this country and in the world,” Mayor Richard M. Daley said.

Ah ha! I've been by this site several times wondering what it was. Now I know!
Very nice to see residential units.

That's just neat. Thanks.

Interesting find SG. I thought the parking podium was going to wrap around to the Wells St side with an entry under the L. Looks like there is still room for a slender tower there in that render

Bottom section of the tower crane was placed today.

Thanks, Jeff. This and 200 West Lake are really going to transform that area of the Loop.

So true I_A_H. I have been a big fan of this project and 200 West Lake for that reason. They will both help create the 24hr Loop that has been anticipated for the last 30 years. Although a major hotel is still needed in the North Loop, and that will come with Waterview.

BTW , no 200 West Lake thread here??

FYI... If you're looking for a specific project, try the Quick Links thread under the Chicago Spire thread. You might find it there.

the core of this bad boy is up to 12/13 and they are just about done with the bottom level and going up.

***i_am_hydrogen*** · August 6th, 2008, 07:09 PM

A lot of activity on the site this afternoon. Erection of the crane is complete. The core (if I'm not mistaken) is now rising. If anyone has his/her camera, please take some shots.

Chicagophotoshop · August 6th, 2008, 08:11 PM

I dont have pics cuz I suck but will confirm that this is moving along nicely. they are about 1.5 levels above the street now. another encouraging sign to see construction moving along on a chicago highrise.
