Three years behind schedule, Green Exchange close to signing a major tenant.
Posted by ChicagoismynewBlog! on July 30, 2010
Have you noticed that hulking, huge, vacant, massive, old, other adjective warehouse that backs against the Metra tracks, I90, and Diversey? Well that’s the Green Exchange, located at 2545 W. Diversey Pkwy.
Originally planned as loft condos, the neighborhood had major issues with the plans so the development was halted. Does anyone know why there was an issue with an old delapidated lamp factory being turned into nice, new condos? Now being advertised as the nation’s biggest showcase for environmentally friendly businesses, it’s been quite the elephant in the room for the neighborhood because the Green Exchange is three years behind schedule.
The developers are currently in talks to land a major lease with Coyote Logistics LLC which will take 18-31% of the 227,450 square feet of available space making the building over 70% leased. Some would say Coyote Logistics isn’t much of a green buiness but Coyote is a trucking company that works to minimize the number of trucks traveling empty, which in turn reduces energy consumption and emissions.

New 427-Unit Apartment Tower Set for River North
Posted by ChicagoismynewBlog! on July 28, 2010
According to this ChicagoRealEstateDaily article, AMLI Residential is partnering up with developer Friedman Properties to build a 49 story apartment building in the Southeast corner of Clark and Hubbard. The building isn’t slated to begin until spring of 2011 at the very earliest but a completion date of 2013 seems to be a good bet.
Taking advantage of having the Greenway Self Park right next door, the AMLI building’s residents will enjoy a large landscaped roof deck on top of the garage. Amenities will include a swimming pool, a jogging path and dog runs. Pretty cool!
As long as they keep saving the old three story buildings in River North and keep building on surface parking lots, I’ll be a happy camper.

Piece of World Trade Center now part of Tribune Tower.
Posted by ChicagoismynewBlog! on May 27, 2010
I wonder how often the Tribune Tower on Michigan Avenue inserts these pieces of other buildings into its exterior. This one is a jagged piece of the World Trade Center obviously from after September 11th.
