A new look at planned Helmut Jahn condo tower

By DENNIS RODKIN



A new rendering of the upper floors of a proposed 74-story tower designed by Helmut Jahn details the condos' glassy transparency and the architect's selection of metal finishes for the exterior.

"You can see that the inside feels as light as the outside. Helmut was very passionate about making that happen," said Jordan Karlik, whose JK Equities is one of three firms partnering on the development the tower, at 1000 S. Michigan Ave.

Previously available images were long-distance views of the tower's entire 832-foot height, or renderings from early designs that the developers and architect later revised.

JK Equities and its partners, Time Equities and Oaks Capital, released the new image to Crain's in advance of rolling out a new website where potential buyers can reserve a space to get sales information on the 323-unit building when it becomes available later this year. Pricing has not yet been announced for the condos, which will be listed by @properties.

From my understanding, this tower is actually going through prepping stage. Equipment is on site and pilings I believe are underway. I could be wrong, but if a local from Chicago in this forum could maybe go take a few pictures of the site, that would be wonderful. We can gage the status of this amazing project.

Thank you for all the nice updates as well. Nice work guys!

Very nice! If this was back away from Mich Ave in the Loop or in River North it might get considered as filler, but not the case with this prime location. The stretch on Michigan Ave along Grant Park could become some of the priciest in Chicago over the years with a straight on view of both the park and lake....can't find that in many places around the US.

nice! This one's going to really add to this stretch of the skyline.
It will defenitely provide another focal point along Michigan. 4 years has been quite the wait on this one to begin, hopefully we hear something about NEMA II relatively soon. The South Loop lacks amenities and more projects like this should add some vibrancy to the area. Seeing how NEMA soars and has the presence of a super-tall being so far south 1000M would have been stunning had they approved the original 1,000'+ proposal. 200' more in this location would have been jaw-dropping in relation to its neighbors. Not to mention the original design was much better. Still an awesome addition to the skyline and another 800'er to boot. This is by far the most significant skyline changing cycle in modern history.

If only Park Michigan would have been built back before the recession. This would have made potentially four 800'+ towers in the South Loop. This lot is still vacant today but there hasn't been any proposals.

True, but if NEMA II happens there will be 3, that's still pretty good :cheers:

One Museum Park is pretty close too, so basically 4

Cross your fingers on this one. Could hardly be in a more prominent place, and it's starting very late in the cycle in a somewhat dicey financial situation. (Not the greatest location for a luxury condo tower and it struggled a lot in the pre-sales stage.) If the economy were to take a sudden downturn, this looks like it would be the first victim. You do not want to see this as an abandoned partially-completed concrete hulk for 4 years like Waterview. Not here, facing the park along Michigan Avenue.
