The Skyscrapers of Chicago – A Guide to the Chicago Skyline
[ad_1] video-1 Profiling some of Chicago’s tallest buildings.
I shot this over a day and half in Chicago in July 2012. There are so many great buildings in Chicago and it is with great regret that I couldn’t feature more of them in this video.
The music in the background is Thelonious Monk “Green Chimneys.”

REPOST: Improving Chicago construction sector still has work to do
Chicago’s increasing number of issued building permits reflects the improving construction sector. The percentage, however, remains far below its pace before the real estate market crash. Chicago Tribune has the details below:

The construction of single-family homes and other small to midsize construction projects in Chicago has continued to improve by one measure, but remains far below its pace set before the real estate market crash.
As of Nov. 15, the city's Building Department issued 1,436 permits for small to midsize construction developments. That compares with 1,202 permits a year earlier and a low of 573 permits on that date in 2010. Still, this year's figure is well off the 1,747 permits issued by mid-November 2007.
"After years of remaining flat, Chicago's economy is moving in the right direction with more new construction taking place," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement.
The department's definition of small to midsize projects includes single-family homes, and buildings that are up to 80 feet tall with less than 150,000 square feet and 40 dwelling units.
A separate report from McGraw Hill Construction showed that for the first 10 months of the year, the financial value of contracts awarded for all types of projects across the Chicago area rose 15 percent, to $8.6 billion from January through October 2013.
