Foundation work is on and ongoing at 151 North Franklin.
It looks like the digging is done dug at 151 North Franklin, The Loop’s latest 35-story office tower from The John Buck Company. Gone are the backhoes and front loaders, replaced by rebar. Lots and lots of rebar.
As a reminder, those are Lendlease crews you see gettin’ stuff done at the future CNA Center, a John Ronan Architects design.

- It was all hands on cement Saturday. There were eight cement mixers on site.
-
- Along the watchtower.
-
- Peeks can be sneaked from ground level.
-
- It gives a much better perspective of how deep the foundation is.

- The Mayor was pleased to see me at the groundbreaking ceremony in April.
-
- A well-earned break.
-
- Someday soon (fingers crossed) this will be a tower crane.
-
- There may still be a tiny bit of digging left to do.
-
- A field of rebar.

- “I don’t think this is supposed to be—oh wait, there it is. Okay, we’re good!”
