Status Update: 353 North LaSalle
The last few panes of glass are being put in the top of 353 North Clark, the new office tower filling in what once was a surface parking lot across from Harry Caray’s. The design looks good, the glass is very transparent, and the base of the thing actually resembles the pre-construction sketches. Miracle of miracles!
Can’t wait to see what retail and restaurant opportunities develop in the podium of this building.
The bad news is what’s happening across the street:
This surface parking lot is being replaced with… a parking garage. Not much of an improvement there, unless there is extensive ground-floor retail. I haven’t heard much about this project, so we’ll just have to keep our fingers crossed and wait to see what develops.
