Показать описание
Plans have been presented for a two-tower development, which, if approved, would occupy the former chicago spire site. titled ‘400 lake shore drive’, the project has been designed by architect david childs with skidmore owings & merrill (SOM). located on the last waterfront site where lake michigan meets the chicago river, the towers include a mix of luxury apartment and condominium residences as well as a boutique hotel. meanwhile, an adjacent riverwalk will provide pedestrian access to the lakefront from downtown.

plans for 400 lake shore drive were unveiled by development firm related midwest, the chicago office of related companies. as part of the proposal, the developer has committed to building ‘dusable park’ – land set aside by the late mayor harold washington 30 years ago to honor chicago’s founding father, jean-baptiste pointe dusable. in addition to the public funds available, related midwest will donate $10 million and ensure the park’s completion. the extended riverwalk will eventually connect to the new park, located on a 3.3-acre peninsula.

designed by architect david childs with SOM, the project is defined by slender, cascading silhouettes that offer sweeping views. climbing to a total height of 1,100 feet (335 meters), the south tower will contain 300 luxury condominiums and a 175-room hotel. the shorter structure, measuring 850 feet (259 meters), houses 550 luxury apartments. the towers are connected by a four-story podium housing a mix of hotel and residential amenities. both towers feature glass and terra cotta façades, with metalwork detailing.

It's unfortunate that these got downsized and most of the terracotta has been removed from the design. But at least construction might start early next year!
