They’ll never do it. Most of those projects are small. West Loop will sadly probably never see any tall development because they’re so scared to build anything even remotely tall near the Sears tower.
Take a look at the projects map on the urbanize chicago website. Fulton Market has so many not only proposed, but approved! It makes me optimistic, however so many of them have sat empty for years so who know when they’ll actually get built
Not sure why no one has had the balls to propose a 1700 or 1800 foot tower here in Chicago . It’s as if out of deference to the Sears no one wants to build higher . That’s not progress , that’s status quo which is lame , boring, dull . The location of 400 LSD absolutely needed a building with a great height like Central Park Tower in NYC towering of Central Park it would/should have towered over the lake . Blunder , shame, a wasted opportunity to put some pride back into peoples everyday downtown lives 🤷🏼♂️ St.Regis Tower nearby is a marvel to behold 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching and for your comment! The Chicago Spire was definitely an eye-catching design. While that specific project was unfortunately canceled, the site at 400 N. Lake Shore Drive is now home to a new development called 400 Lake Shore Drive, which we actually featured in our video! It consists of two stunning towers designed by SOM. Be sure to check out that part of the video to see what's happening at that location now.
You're absolutely right! We apologize for the mistake. And you're right to be concerned about the potential loss of the Renaissance Center - it's an iconic part of the Detroit skyline.
Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and provide valuable feedback. We'll work to ensure our future videos are more streamlined and avoid unnecessary repetition. We hope you'll continue to follow our channel for more engaging content about megaprojects around the world.
You are absolutely correct! 400 Lake Shore Drive is located on the eastern edge of Streeterville, directly on the shore of Lake Michigan. Therefore, the tower closest to the lake would indeed be the east tower, not the south tower. Thank you for pointing out this error. We apologize for the confusion
It's true that the Salesforce Tower isn't the tallest building in Chicago, but its design prioritizes other aspects besides just height. Its unique curved facade and prominent riverfront location make it a striking landmark. Plus, it's designed to be a sustainable and efficient workspace.
Yep. You get it. It's waaaay past time that we reclaimed our title. We built a 1450 foot building over 50 years ago. We can build a 2,000+ foot building today. We're letting lesser cities steal our identity. This needs to get done.
I really enjoyed your video and your sounds felt like a spring‘s breeze in my ears Thank you 🙏 I liked, shared and subscribed. Wish you all the best. Samo - Zürich
There is one more lakeshore spot at that point just across the river. The last spot for a tower in the are called Lakeshore East. Renderings before the pandemic was a 8-+ story building. Nothing on it since. Also the renderings of 400 Lakeshore Drive keeps going from early renderings when the south tower was a supertall and both had a podium w/hotel that was not approved. A redo had it forced by NIMBY's and Alderman to take out the podium and hotel. They did and shortened the towers and made the taller one on the north side of the lot. Still both renderings kept going back and forth as AI did not know the difference apparently.
Always use Mono audio channels for dialogue my guy. Ensures that if your program is assuming stereo on your microphone input that you won’t get strange panning issues.
Ikr! Like I've lived here all my life and i love the sears tower but like can we please get a new icon building that shows chicago is still advancing and is way taller. It would drive in tourism.
We hear you! The future of office space is a hot topic right now. While some projects do have office components, many are mixed-use with residential and retail spaces to create a more vibrant environment.
What happens when these towers are built and ruins the views of the existing apartments that are right next to them? One could say 'tough luck', but losing a view, sunlight etc surely lowers the value of those apartments affected. Ive seen ome developments which take this into account.
Each building is reviewed by a board to make sure stuff like that doesn't happen. Unless the architect can fully address these type of issues, thru project will never get the green light.
Could have been researched better. 1000M is nowhere near Randolph Street (almost a mile away). East Madison is also more than a mile away from the 78. I don’t know what 400m is supposed to be. Several frames are showing places that are not located in Chicago …
Thank you for watching and for your feedback. 1000M location is mentioned in the video as being at 1000 S. Michigan Avenue, on the western edge of Grant Park in the South Loop. The 400 Lake Shore is located at the intersection of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan in the Streeterville neighborhood. This site was previously home to the ill-fated Chicago Spire project. And you are right about the 78, is located in Chicago on a 62-acre site near the South Loop, bordered by Roosevelt Road and the Chicago River. It is intended to be Chicago's 78th neighborhood. Thanks
While One Central is an ambitious project, it's true that it faces challenges, and its realization isn't guaranteed. Only time will tell if this ambitious project will become a reality.
As a Chicagoan i feel more at ease we ain’t reaching high but rather more classy mid tier buildings. Skyline flows nice, whilst im not a fan yet of New Yorks super talls being built on billionaires row. Also, Chicago has no need or $$$ to compete for supertax’s anymore. China almost bankrupted because of them so they capped at 500m and Dubai did go bankrupt but got oil money from Abu Dhabi. Also thats like their only thing going on.
Perhaps it has something to do with the whole 1000M costing over 1 Billion dollars? It's not exactly cheap to build in US cities. As a Chicagoan, I am definitely fine with it. Maintain and keep buildings more luxurious and beautiful - as opposed to overdeveloping cheap towers that ruin our skylines.
Thank you for your comment! There are several reasons why skyscrapers in other countries, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, often surpass those in the U.S. in terms of height. The demand for more vertical construction to accommodate increasing populations in urban areas; significant government and private investment in high-rise is often seen as a symbol of economic prowess and modernization; in densely populated cities like Hong Kong and Singapore, land scarcity necessitates building upwards to maximize limited space; skyscrapers in many countries serve as cultural icons and symbols of national pride and technological advancement; and finally, in the U.S., zoning laws, height restrictions, and financial considerations often limit the construction of supertall buildings.
A LOT of those buildings have unused space. The spire is indeed tall, but cmon it's basically an antenna on some of the top 10 tallest buildings (looking at you 1 WTC/Freedom Tower).
This comment would make sense if the video were about a city and buildings in one of those 192 countries that use the metric system. But it’s not. It’s about a city and buildings in one of those three countries that use the imperial system; thus, the video discusses measurements in the imperial system. It’s really pretty straightforward.
@@briancason6579 In this way, it limits its content to only three countries. A very strange approach because usually most RUclipsrs want their videos to be watched by as many people as possible.
@@PublicEnemy.okay thank you, you make a fair point. Much more reasonable than an unhelpful “WTF”. But I digress. I think my objection is more to the tone of entitlement; ironically, a characteristic I’d argue is more commonly associated with Americans.

I love my hometown! Our skyline just flows ever so nicely! A lot has changed since the last time I was home, and I can't wait to come back
I really wished the Chicago Spire had been built. Now 400 lakeshore will be built in its place. It would have been so beautiful
I like 400 laheshore better.
I wish I knew these spires were completed 😪
400 lakeshore way better design IMO. Spire was goofy looking concept.
Thank you for covering the beautiful city of Chicago!
Our pleasure!
Can't watcha video when your only coming thru my left ear..
flip the phone upside down
Growing up I always thought NEW YORK was the home of the skyscraper, lol I didn't realize it was actually CHICAGO until just recently.
Fulton Market is exploding with proposals right now all being about the 400 ft range. I cant wait until there is a crowning tower built in that area.
They’ll never do it. Most of those projects are small. West Loop will sadly probably never see any tall development because they’re so scared to build anything even remotely tall near the Sears tower.
Fulton Market buildings are limited by city zoning.
@maryharris6284 Related has a 600 footer proposed in the area and near the United Center there is also another 660 foot building proposed.
Take a look at the projects map on the urbanize chicago website. Fulton Market has so many not only proposed, but approved! It makes me optimistic, however so many of them have sat empty for years so who know when they’ll actually get built

The location of 400 LSD absolutely needed a building with a great height like Central Park Tower in NYC towering of Central Park it would/should have towered over the lake .
Blunder , shame, a wasted opportunity to put some pride back into peoples everyday downtown lives 🤷🏼♂️
St.Regis Tower nearby is a marvel to behold 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
my left ear really enjoyed this
I really want the Chicago spire to be built. Very unique building.

gonna have like 600 low income in them so say goodbye to the elevators.
3:22 bro really showed Michigan avenue in Detroit. And honestly, it's depressing how we might lose the ren cen in Detroit.
You're absolutely right! We apologize for the mistake. And you're right to be concerned about the potential loss of the Renaissance Center - it's an iconic part of the Detroit skyline.
this could have been a better video if you didn't do double the information throughout it

Why did you repeat the video ? You already show the buildings in the beginning
My right ear is jealous of my left ear. 👂🏻
9:27 The last I checked, Lake Michigan was east of the city. That would make this the south tower.
You are absolutely correct! 400 Lake Shore Drive is located on the eastern edge of Streeterville, directly on the shore of Lake Michigan. Therefore, the tower closest to the lake would indeed be the east tower, not the south tower.

The Salesforce tower is so underwhelming. Such a prominent location and they chose not to create something taller. Shame.

Awesome, thank you!
3:24 - 3:33 is footage of Downtown Detroit, not Chicago fyi
We appreciate you bringing that to our attention. We will make sure to pay more attention.
Some of these pics are of downtown Detroit(12:20 being the last one I noted). I'm guessing you've not been to Chicago?

Appreciate the advice! It's always great to learn new tricks to improve audio quality.
Nice video. But the background music is a bit loud.
3:32 is actually downtown Detroit.....
Lets get on with the show.
Oklahoma City says hold my beer Chicago and New York City.
With what skyline tho? it would be ugly asf
@@AUSER04-le5se Not for long. Oklahoma City is growing rapidly due to bad policies in the major coastal cities.
Any other city would say more skyscrapers ARE on the way, but this is Chicago so They say more skyscrapers IS on the way.
Why the heck can’t they build a 2000’ tall tower? NYC is pulling away.
Yep.
Ikr! Like I've lived here all my life and i love the sears tower but like can we please get a new icon building that shows chicago is still advancing and is way taller. It would drive in tourism.
Democrats and "progressives"
it's a shame the audio on this video is messed up
For the first time, if they build it nobody will show up, if new towers are offices.
We hear you! The future of office space is a hot topic right now. While some projects do have office components, many are mixed-use with residential and retail spaces to create a more vibrant environment.
lmao, why did I see Michigan ave in detroit sprinkled in here randomly
Nice video, but all the narration is only in the left channel which is slightly annoying!
thumb nail was incredibly misleading. Not a single piece of information not at least 5+ years old
I hate how this guy is just talking to me in my left ear. Couldn't last a minute
voice over audio is only out of left ear btw
Thanks for letting me know about the audio, I'll make sure to address it for future videos.
So sick of all the glass curtain buildings! Boring!

While One Central is an ambitious project, it's true that it faces challenges, and its realization isn't guaranteed. Only time will tell if this ambitious project will become a reality.
Yawn. Why are other countries buildings blowing away the U.S. in height.???

Thank you can you make a video about iraq new central bank building desigen by zaha hadid in baghdad.❤
Thanks for the comment. We will check it out.
I like how you barely show anything. Just stock footage of Chicago. Crap
The buildings haven't been built. He showed the pictures of them
Why do you only give the height in feet?! There are 195 countries in the world and 192 of them use the metric unit!

Tribune tower east isn’t happening, numerous delays and the developers pretty much said it’s a pipe dream
This could have been a rumor, they went to so much trouble and spent so much money designing it and getting it approved.
What a waste..the population of Chicago is dwindling and you wanna look like Tokyo...😅😅😅😅
Chicago gained most of the population it lost in the past 5 years
They look like chodes
Chicago can just have lots and lots supermassive skyscrapers in The Windy City of the Midwest!🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🏗🏗🏗🏗🏗🏗🏙🏙🏙🏙🏙🏙
TONS AND TONS more I like it. Facts though!
