Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has shared new images of the progress of 400 Lake Shore, the skyscraper rising on the site where the failed Chicago Spire was to be built. With a planned height of 256 meters (841 feet), the project is on track for completion in 2027 and is now approximately halfway through construction, according to the latest photographs.
The building has a rectangular volume, with its longest side running parallel to the Chicago River. Part of its glass façade and aluminum pilasters are already visible, defining a sober and contemporary presence on the promontory it occupies, between the riverbed and the urban slope that characterizes this strategic enclave of the city.
