48 highrises under construction now in Chicago, as multiple buildings just wrapped up and were delivered, some really beautiful office buildings along the river as far as some of the newest taller buildings completed.
Multiple buildings are teeing up to begin this summer.
What I'm impressed with is the large number of mid-rise buildings going up this cycle. Last cycle it was a ton of low rise and high rise, this time there are well over a dozen 5-15 story buildings that have gone up, and many more are coming up now or just getting started. I like to see that strong in-fill and density in the neighborhoods, as opposed to just low-rise in the neighborhoods and high-rise downtown.
There are 6 mid-rise projects going up within a 5-6 minute walk of my house in Lakeview, and then multiple others going up in Lincoln Park just to the south and quite a few as well along Milwaukee ave in Wicker Park to Logan Square. All together adding a few thousand units this coming year.
Though Chicago has 50+ high-rise, skyscraper projects ongoing some 70, 80, 90+ stores. One with a key tenant of Bank of America. It won't break ground till next year with a demolition of the low-rise there needed yet. At 50-stories is slated as the first -- ALL office skyscraper to be built in 25-years. Most are mixed use today heavy on residential.
Not awe-inspiring. But openness street-level the city requires even as a compromise in leaving some overhang as long as the street-level is open along the river.
I don't know about that. NYC of course is #1, but Houston and DC are definitely in the mix with LA, Atlanta, and possibly Miami.
How so?
