These photos were taken October 24, so add a couple levels of progress since then.
Editors note: The windows are cool.
Progress Update: 1114 West Carroll

Tag Archives: West Loop
Coppia (1101 W Van Buren) has topped out along the Eisenhower Expressway
Power Construction has topped out at Coppia, the 19-story, 298-unit residential tower in the West Loop from developer Pizzuti. A design by Goettsch Partners, Coppia is expected to open to residents in 2024. The walling-off of the Eisenhower Expressway continues to stretch westward.
Photos are from August 28, 2023:
The glass is half full at 225 North Elizabeth
Another tower crane gone since my last visit. Of course, it has been three months since I’ve been out and about. The topped-out and craneless 225 North Elizabeth has achieved approximate half-glassness. That’s an industry term; don’t bother looking it up if you’re not privy to insider information. Only us cool, in-the-know construction-types have it.

1114 West Carroll, the 34-story, 368-unit apartment tower from Trammell Crow Company in Dallas is really showing out in the Fulton Market District. Don’t believe me? Check out the gallery of Power Construction progress, who appear to have reached the underside of Floor 11:

DonateDarn Near Done: Sterling Bay announces showings at The Dylan
Another fantastic location is about to be your home, if you so choose. Sterling Bay announced last week in an Instagram post that The Dylan, their new Fulton Market apartment tower, is now showing units. And while I’m not going to fool anyone into thinking these are in my price range just to get a tour, the studio units I looked at on the website are nice sized. At least where I come from, 553 square feet is darn spacious. Plus, I love the West Loop and Fulton Market District. This’d be a great spot for me. Or for any of my dedicated followers who like to invite guests over. (Careful that hint don’t drop on your noggin.)
Here’s a quick look at what The Dylan looks like right this very minute. You can also click on my tags for The Dylan and 160 North Morgan to see how construction progressed.
Darn Near Done: 732 West Randolph edition
732 West Randolph is an edition, and an addition. The eight-story building in the heart of Restaurant row connects on all six floors of the exiting building to its east. Wait….I guess it’s more of an extension than an addition, but I’ve said what I’ve said.
Never forget, this humble eight-story edifice brought a tower crane to the West Loop. Be grateful for that, Construx Nerds.
Hey, there’s a sweet video in that link above. And the gallery shows what the almost-ready-for-business office building looks like right this very moment.
160 North Morgan is now The Dylan
Got a surprise in my Instagram feed today, when this post popped up from Sterling Bay:
This is what The Dylan looked like last week, as the exterior nears completion:
225 North Elizabeth gets its glass in gear
The future 28-story apartment tower at 225 North Elizabeth in the Fulton Market District is up to about the 20th level. But it’s much easier to count the levels of glass than the levels of concrete. There’s one. One level of glass. I know this for a fact because I took a look on a gorgeous May Sunday and did the math in my head. There’s one level of glass. Not a complete level, mind you. But one, just the same.
Here are some photos to prove it:
Arthur on Aberdeen apartment development is topped out in the West Loop
Last week, LG Group announced the topping out of Arthur on Aberdeen, the 19-story, 363-unit apartment building in Chicago’s West Loop. So last week, I took a 360-degree walk around the site for a look at progress from GC Power Construction and CC (concrete contractor) McHugh Concrete.
Congrats to the entire team, including design-architect NORR, and the topping out of a great-looking building on a sunny day.

DonateAnother Chicago Water Tank bites the dust
We lost another Chicago Water Tank this month.
The water tank atop Greek Islands restaurant at 200 S Halsted Street in Greektown was issued a demolition permit March 3rd. By the 12th, it was gone, leaving only the steel supports as a reminder of its existence. That, and the photos we have of it.
Better take photos of those that still remain, and soon. They’re an endangered species in Chicago.
