    Exterior work is moving along on 115 East 55th Str Exterior work is moving along on 115 East 55th Street, an 18-story residential building in Midtown East. Designed by SLCE Architects for Zeckendorf Development, the 185-foot-tall, 71,961-square-foot structure will yield 62 units. The property is located between Park and Lexington Avenues, directly adjacent to the rear of Norman Foster‘s 47-story, 660,000-square-foot 425 Park Avenue. Since our last update in late March, the reinforced concrete superstructure has topped out and work has shifted to the installation of the warm-colored stone façade, which now covers much of the main southern elevation. Photographs show the textural details in the prewar-inspired stone panels that are being individually hung into place using a telescopic boom crane. Several other pieces of the fenestration have arrived on flatbeds and are awaiting installation. Other decorative elements in the exterior design include thick cornices, dark metal railings placed in front of several Juliet balconies, and an elegantly curved canopy over the main entrance along East 55th Street. All 62 homes are expected to be spread over 59,819 square feet. Each of these would average 964 square feet. 115 East 55th Street is set to be finished next March. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793
    New renderings reveal a rebuilt State/Lake CTA L S New renderings reveal a rebuilt State/Lake CTA L Station in The Loop district of Chicago. Located at the intersection of W Lake Street and N State Street, the station connects numerous CTA L Lines including the Green, Brown, Purple, Orange, and Pink Lines. Connections to the Red Line and multiple bus lines are also possible at this location. Built for the Chicago Transit Authority, the CTA is collaborating with the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) on the project. The new State/Lake CTA station will replace the more than 100-year-old existing structure with a modern, fully accessible rail hub with wider platforms and a host of customer amenities. It includes wide balconies open to the public facing north and south that create scenic overlooks of N State Street, including an up-close view of the landmark Chicago Theater. The design and construction process are being led by CDOT on behalf of the CTA. Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill, the station features platforms that are double the current width to better accommodate customers. It also includes a full-coverage, glass canopy to protect customers from rain and snow, as well as a walkway connecting the inner and outer platforms. There will also be four elevators located at each corner of State and Lake, up from zero, to make the station fully accessible. The total projected cost is approximately $180 million, and the City of Chicago is seeking additional funding from various potential sources. Once the design process is complete and full funding is obtained, it will take about three years to complete construction of the new station.
    Looking down at the sharp crown of 400 Park Avenue Looking down at the sharp crown of 400 Park Avenue South, designed by Christian de Portzamparc, and the highly reflective glass curtain wall that uniformly wraps around all sides of the 40-story 81-unit residential skyscraper. Multiple angled setbacks make up the upper levels of the structure, while the sloped perimeter walls create a unique, asymmetrical, and sculptural building massing that easily differentiates itself from the surrounding NoMad neighborhood. 400 Avenue Park Avenue South was one of the first new wave of buildings from the past decade to go up in the district, which is still witnessing and undergoing a massive construction boom of hotels, office space, and residences by other prominent architects.
