Michigan Ave. (1928; Holabird & Roche/Holabird & Root) The 333 NORTH MICHIGAN BUILDING is one of the city's most outstanding Art Deco-style skyscrapers. It is one of four buildings surrounding the Michigan A venue Bridge that defines one of the city' s-and nation' s-finest urban spaces. The building's base is sheathed in polished granite, in shades of black and purple. Its upper stories, which are set back in dramatic fashion to correspond to the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, are clad in buff-colored limestone and dark terra cotta. The building's prominence is heightened by its unique site. Due to the jog of Michigan Avenue at the bridge, the building is visible the length of North Michigan Avenue, appearing to be located in the center of the street. ABOVE: The 333 North Michigan Building was one of the first skyscrapers to take advantage of the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, which encouraged the construction of buildings with setback towers. This photograph was taken from the cupola of the London Guarantee Building. COVER: A 1933 illustration, looking south on Michigan Avenue.

  • Office Market Overview
    YEAR-END 2011 | DOWNTOWN OFFICE RESEARCH REPORT | FOURTH QUARTER 2011 | DOWNTOWN CHICAGO | OFFICE CHICAGO OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW Finishing on a High Note With reported year-end absorption at its highest rate since 2007, the Chicago CBD continued its path towards recovery, albeit at a very tentative and labored pace. For much of 2011, the Chicago CBD witnessed inconsistencies in recovery with varying degrees of improvement dependent on factors such as asset class, the relative health of landlords, tenant industry and submarket desirability. The result has been a rather jagged path towards recovery. Yet clear signs exist of marked improvement over the prior year. As vacancy MARKET INDICATORS decreased 70 basis points to 15.1 percent during 2011, it Overall Chicago CBD seems the market has reclaimed its footing with improved Year-end Year-end demand resulting in 996,110 square feet of positive net 2010 2011 absorption during the year. Despite this absorption, the VACANCY RATE 15.8% 15.1% market still remains somewhat soft with demand levels weak relative to pre-recession years when annual net ABSORPTION (SF) -206,844 996,110 absorption typically exceeded 3,000,000 square feet.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 18, 2014 CONTACT
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 18, 2014 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] MAYOR EMANUEL ANNOUNCES THE SECOND EXPANSION OF RETROFIT CHICAGO’S COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS INITIATIVE 16 additional facilities commit to 20 percent energy efficiency improvement within five years; current participants have achieved seven percent energy reduction to-date Marking another milestone in the City’s efforts to accelerate energy efficiency, Mayor Rahm Emanuel today announced the further expansion of Retrofit Chicago’s Commercial Buildings Initiative. The new building participants, including 11 higher education facilities, four commercial office buildings, and one cultural institution, have committed to at least 20 percent energy efficiency improvement within five years. This announcement expands the total program reach to 48 buildings and 37 million square feet, making Retrofit Chicago’s Commercial Buildings Initiative one of the largest private sector voluntary efficiency programs in the country. “Retrofit Chicago participants are leading a rising private sector energy movement that demonstrates how efficiency makes good business sense and good sense for our environment,” said Mayor Emanuel. “These buildings’ operational and capital improvements are saving money, reducing carbon emissions, creating 21st century jobs, and lowering the cost of doing business in Chicago.” To-date, current program participants have collectively achieved a seven percent reduction in total source energy use, with accompanying annual energy cost savings of $2.5 million and greenhouse gas emissions reductions equivalent to removing 5,800 cars from the road. Upon reaching the 20 percent improvement target, all 48 building participants have potential to save more than 150 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, while creating hundreds of local jobs in the growing clean energy economy.

  • I. Introduction
    I. Introduction A. The University Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational, and urban university emphasizing education for the professions, research, and scholarship. The university offers programs in engineering, science, architecture, law, business, psychology, and design, and is a member of the Association of Independent Technological Universities. With its contract research arm, IIT Research Institute (IITRI), IIT is a major center of applied science and engineering research. IIT has five campuses in the Chicago area: the Main Campus on Chicago’s mid-South Side; the Downtown Campus in Chicago’s West Loop; the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Campus in west suburban Wheaton; the Moffett Campus in south suburban Bedford Park, where the National Center for Food Safety and Technology is located; and the Institute of Design (ID) at 350 N. LaSalle St., in Chicago. In the 1950s, the university’s Main Campus was designed by master architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and has been designated one of the 200 most architecturally significant sites in the United States. The opening in 2003 of a new campus center designed by Rem Koolhaas and a dormitory by renowned architect Helmut Jahn has broadened and enhanced the architectural significance of the Main Campus. B. History In 1890, when advanced education was often reserved for society’s elite, Chicago minister Frank Gunsaulus delivered what came to be known as the “Million Dollar Sermon.” From the pulpit of his South Side church—near the site IIT now occupies—Gunsaulus said that with a million dollars he could build a school where students of all backgrounds could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing society.

Places such as Milwaukee and even Kenosha were more naturally blessed. But it was here – on a swampy and malodorous scrap of land so unpromising the Potawatomi had hardly bothered to settle it – where the American story took root and grew to epic proportions. Marquette and Jolliet once had been forced to laboriously portage their canoes over this dank, mucky expanse at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, called “wild garlic” by locals and later referred to derisively as Mud Lake. But in the early 1800’s that was no obstacle for the indomitable spirit of newly-arrived Easterners who would carve canals, tunnel under the lake itself, and later hoist the foundations of the entire City, four to seven feet, just to keep their feet dry. Mud Lake soon became the vital link to the Mississippi and the Great Lakes, the heartland and the Atlantic, the past and future – with Chicago in the center.
