I’m still struck by how barren a lot looks just after caisson work concludes. This is 465 North Park, once again a blank canvas.

“Life moves pretty fast” Ferris Bueller once said. “If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” For instance, wait three weeks to go check on caisson progress at 465 North Park, and find out you’re too late. Yep. Life moves pretty fast.

Power Construction has begun digging a foundation, now that the heavy drilling is out of the way. They’re working on Jupiter Realty Company’s 47-story, 444-unit apartment tower at 465 North Park Drive in Streeterville. The Pappageorge Haymes design will include 11,650 square feet of retail/commercial space, and 181 parking spaces.
