Some Conceptual Sloop Real Estate Porn

Both of these developments probably aren't happening (especially the Wooden Skyscraper concept), but it's still fun to look at and dream about.  Curbed recently posted about them and we got excited!

First up is the more feasible of the pair, an interesting skyscraper that would serve neighboring higher education institutions (please note this is at Wabash and Van Buren - just north of the Sloop):

Would be pretty cool and iconic.

Something even cooler and probably even more iconic would be this crazy design for a Wooden  Skyscraper concept just north of River City:

Ok, now it's time to go back to earth.  Enjoy your Monday.

    Yes! Wooden Skyscraper! Anything but that British dirtbag's stupid twin towers and bridge!

    There is no possible way to build a wooden skyscraper in this, or probably any other city on earth.

    It may become a reality one day! Not necessarily this one, but wooden skyscrapers in general: http://inhabitat.com/michael-green-unveils-wooden-tallwood-skyscraper-for-vancouver/

    Wood isn't realistic, but I dig the proposal for the site at Wells/Harrison. Way more interesting than the usual, boring South Loop apartment/condo towers of the past. And agreed... way better than that ridiculous proposal from the new owner of the old post office.

    Is officer Brill involved in this also? If so, where is his car parking area?
