Some good news to report on the Chicago construction scene as the stop work order issued in August for the Sears at Six Corners redevelopment project was completely lifted last month, clearing the way for work on the fifth-floor addition to start up again. This looks like an amazing project and it is great to see Chicago redevelopments take place.
