DESIGN Developer Interested In Consumers And Century Buildings “Quintin Primo III of Capri Investment Group said he will respond when the federal government publishes a call for lease ideas for the buildings,” reports David Roeder at the Sun-Times. “He favors preservationists’ suggestion that the buildings become an archives center for nonprofit and religious groups but said that other uses should be considered.” Goettsch Partners’ Paramount Will Be Nashville’s Tallest Building Paramount, a sixty-story tower designed by Chicago-based Goettsch Partners, is planned as Nashville’s tallest, reports The Architect’s Newspaper. “Paramount will measure 750 feet. Goettsch Partners envisions 360 apartments, 140 condominiums, amenities and a 517-space parking garage inside the tower.” Wicker Park’s Ascension St. Elizabeth Hospital Will Be Closed “Amid Ascension Illinois’ deal to sell off several local hospitals to Prime Healthcare, the health care systems are seeking to close one of the facilities on Chicago’s West Side,” reports Crain’s. “Ascension St. Elizabeth, which offers mental health inpatient services, would shut down within six months.” A Visit To The Busy Beaver Button Museum Logan Square’s Busy Beaver Button Company and Museum has archived 60,000 pin-back buttons, reports WBEZ. “One of the things that’s so cool about buttons is that they tell… a people’s history,” Busy Beaver founder Christen Carter says. “There are really large things that are well documented in buttons and there are smaller things I never learned about in history class.” Chicago “Digester” Can Consume Tons Of Food Waste A “climate change-fighting machine is being used to divert thousands of pounds of food waste from landfills, as well as feed people and heat city homes in a clean and sustainable way,” reports WLS-TV. “Green Era’s anaerobic digester is now fully operational. And it’s creating two biproducts: Biogas and nutrient rich compost. Trucks [arrive] daily, carrying hundreds of tons of food waste, some still in its packaging. It all gets dumped into a giant pit…” The liquid food waste “lives in there for about twenty days. Little microorganisms are eating it, just like our digestive systems are doing the same exact thing,” Erika Allen, CEO of the Urban Growers Collective tells the station. As the food is digested, “it’s releasing methane and that rises to the top of the tank. It’s siphoned off and then goes through filter filtration and then gets injected into the gas pipeline.” First Demolition Begins For Bally’s Casino “The first demolition to make way for Bally’s Chicago casino has begun along the Chicago River in West Town,” reports Chicago YIMBY. The city “issued a demo permit for 700 West Erie, with Brandenburg Industrial Service Company serving as the demolition contractor. A long, single-story metal building that was most recently the home of a U-Haul rental facility, it sits on the southwest corner of the development site, at the intersection of Erie and Halsted.” Demolition Of Hoffman Estates Sears Campus Begins “Demolition has begun on the 2.4 million square feet of office space that once served as Sears’ worldwide headquarters in Hoffman Estates,” reports the Daily Herald. “The campus served as the retail giant’s headquarters between the move from Chicago’s Sears Tower in the early 1990s until the company put the sprawling 273 acres up for sale in 2021. At its peak, the campus was home to about 9,000 employees. But after the last of them were sent home due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, none ever returned.” Historic Lake Forest Compound With Acres Of Gardens Yours For $15 Million “One of the grandest estates in Lake Forest, a sumptuous mansion that has been
