@BobSirott@WGNRadio Thanks for the tag, @BobSirott. We're huge fans. But you probably meant to tag Chicago's button-down architecture group, @chiarchitecture, not our bunch of witty and sarcastic malcontents.
The 2022 version is much taller, and better looking than what was presented back then. Much like your high school boyfriend.

it’s a step forward in realizing the late Helmut Jahn’s vision. Its location will make it one of the most prominent buildings in the city’s skyline, even though it will only be 18th in rank.

Please shoot this building before it's gone.
John Ramcke House, 2028 N. Seminary, built 1888.

We told you about three-building plans for this space in 2016 and 2019. With a new developer, and new architecture firm, we’ll see if the third time is the charm for three-building plans.

Thompson Center, once considered to be an ex-parrot, has gone from “stick a fork in it” to “put a ring on it” faster than a TV dating show. Prime is buying a trashed party house, then bringing the fraternity back in as roommates.

#Grannyflats aren’t a magic wand to flood the city with places to live on the salary earned by a barista, a doorman, a delivery guy, an Uber driver, or anyone else the skirts-and-suits crowd relies on every single day.

Common likes to describe its buildings as “co-living” spaces. Which to salt-of-the-earth middle westerners means it’s coastal millennials re-inventing the boarding house wheel again.

Empty storefronts and mid-range chains don’t bring in foot traffic, especially with the memory of summer looting fresh in people’s minds. So what do you do to get shoppers to crack open their wallets? Bedazzle them!

Other work included the HVAC system, the fire system, and security. In addition, the building’s exterior was kitted out with color-changing LED lights.
