Took the Brown Line today and haven't in the longest time. While passing North Ave, I saw a new high rise or mid rise being constructed? It's perpendicular to SoNo and it looks like it has about 10 stories built thus far.

Anyone know what building it is?

I will say I am glad to see that some small high rises and mid rises are now being built outside of downtown or the lakefront. I believe some of the best views of downtown are looking from the northwest looking down southeast with the skyline in all it's glory. I wouldn't want high rises to be everywhere, but I think high rises sprinkled here and there, like in empty lots in the Logan Square neighborhood or Avondale area, would provide some beatiful views of the city.

It's an apartment building. You know since Chicago is declining, developers are building new apartment buildings.

I don't, but I think it's similar to SoNo itself.

Let me guess, "SoNo" is short for "South of North Avenue" so that we can have our own corny little version of SoHo...
