Back in February, in our River North (East) roundup, we mentioned that the lot at 37th and Downing has been cleared but not yet under construction. Present-day, excavation is well underway, with the project close to bottoming out.

A quick note about the location of this project: the official River North Art District eastern boundary runs along Larimer Street and then jogs over to Downing Street, where the street grids collide, and then back to Walnut Street on the diagonal. Since this project is on the other side of that line, this project resides in the Cole neighborhood.

Below are a few photos of the project site.

Here is one additional vantage point of the project site, along with a rendering refresher of the nine-story building.

It’s exciting to see so much construction underway. We are seeing an unprecedented amount of proposals get submitted to the city and are very busy tracking and organizing these projects. Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter, where we tweet breaking news about new projects, and on Instagram, where we share the best of our urban infill photos.
