The First Units At Renelle On The River Will Be Completed In Q1 2019.

Belgravia Group erected a tower crane on the site of Renelle on the River on Tuesday, marking a milestone in Chicago's construction cycle. It is the 60th tower crane to rise in Chicago this year — the construction pipeline is packed with developments across multiple asset classes. The 60 tower cranes are nearly double the number in the air a year ago.

The 18-story, 50-unit luxury condo development received a full construction permit last month.

Lev said Renelle's first units will be completed in Q1 2019. Units are selling between $1.6M and $3.2M.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Buildings Commissioner Judy Frydland were on hand for the news conference Tuesday.
