No more tower crane atop Linea at 215 West Lake Street. But the curtain wall is starting to work its way down.
Tower cranes, that is. Linea, the residential tower by Thomas Roszak Architecture at 215 West Lake Street in The Loop, still has a baby crane on the top level to help finish off the building. But it’s topped out and getting more glass by the day. In fact, curtain installation has been working from the top, down, as well. Once known as Level Apartments, Linea is a 33-story, 265-unit development with about 150 parking spaces. Clark Construction is the contractor tasked with having Linea move-in ready in 2017.
- No crane, more glass.
- Placing curtain panels where the tower crane used to be anchored.
- A few levels up, another gaping crane chasm.
- Only six more stories of cladding to meet up with the top level.
- For those who really miss the tower crane, 151 North Franklin’s makes a cameo appearance, top right.
