Rendering of 3Eleven
Earlier this year, the city of Chicago approved the construction of a new residential tower at 311 West Illinois in River North (though you’d never know it since Alderman Reilly hasn’t updated his web site yet in 2016). It’s a partnership between the John Buck Company and the Order of Friars Servants of Mary, USA Province. Buck gets to build a shiny new skyscraper called 3Eleven in the parking lot of Assumption Roman Catholic Church. The Friars, who own the church, get a renovated and expanded priory. And everybody’s happy.
Our spies have been lingering around the block more often these days, but to date haven’t caught any signs of construction starting. Until then, here’s a 3Eleven firehose:
