🏗 I brake for tower cranes, then post them at 🏗 Views are my own; you have no right to block them with your building.

No idiots with cameras standing in the middle of Lake Shore Drive were harmed during production.

I took a ridiculous number of pics of the McDonald's Park crane today. And there's another one on the way.

Leaving these here for someone...

Guess what they’re doing at 566 West Van Buren today

The Aya Pastry building at 1332 West Grand was permitted for demolition yesterday. There's a pending permit for four stories, nine units.

Bocadillo Market has reopened, Aya Pastry is closing and more West Town restaurant news: https://t.co/AoA1CsRCEd

Also yesterday, caissons permitted for the music hall at the 1901 Project at the United Center. It goes nearish the corner of Adams and Damen, just south of the parking structure under construction now.

The tower crane was permitted yesterday for 1628 West Division. As of Memorial Day weekend, work hadn't gotten started yet.

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

It’s not red 😟

[Mike @Mathias777787]

Seen it here first! @BuildingChi

The artists' canvas that is 3522 West Diversey (and was, for awhile, a laundromat) got a demolition permit yesterday. Looks like the paint was holding it together.

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

The demolition permit came through yesterday.

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

The former home of Paddy Long's (more recently Max & Issy's) is not long for this earth. A three-flat was permitted yesterday to replace it. Demolition permit is pending.

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

@testuntested Maybe they'll kick that idea around

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

McDonald's Park will have one red tower crane (Peiner) and one yellow tower crane (Liebherr.) So on brand.

Tower crane going up for McDonalds Park at The 78

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

McDonald's Park will have two tower cranes.
The McDonald's HQ in the West Loop had two tower cranes.
Coincidence?
Yes, actually, it is.
Still though, they're like McDoubles.

I assume the Fire will sell McKickin sandwiches and Kickin McNuggets when the stadium opens.

Something exciting is happening in Chicago's Gold Coast! Demolition has begun at Newberry Plaza, marking the start of a major repositioning that will bring fresh fitness, fashion, and dining options to the neighborhood.

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

@KevinTempen Of course it can, though the pending new construction permit complicates that scenario a little.

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

Is it though? There's a demolition permit for it pending since May 18.

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

@1980Bvchi It will be up until the 2nd week of June-ish

[🏗 BuildingUpChi 🏗 @BuildingChi]

Thank you for confirming that the 400 Lake Shore crane is still up.
