Chicago’s most recent growth and development boom has been located closer to downtown and the Loop, areas like in the West Loop, Fulton Market region of Chicago. Logan Crossing is a new mixed-use development located Northwest of the city, and the heart of the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago which provides an opportunity for growth for the Square.

The project features a striking modern loft building design wrapped in two-tone colored grey and red brick with historic facades details. The property’s design strategy was to become a hub of activity for both residents and visitors alike. The development features a mix of residential and commercial spaces, including apartments, retail stores, and restaurants. Logan’s Crossing is a redevelopment on the former site of the Logan’s Megamall at the southwest corner of North Milwaukee and North Sacramento Avenues.

The residential component of the development is situated above approximately 62,000 square feet of retail space anchored by a Neighborhood Target retail store. The residential luxury apartment units are steps away from the L train to the Loop and offer a sleek and modern design, with high-end finishes and amenities. The building has an array of amenities, including a fitness center, a rooftop deck, resort-style pool, Poolside Cabanas & Firepit, and a resident coworking lounge. The retail spaces on the ground floor of the building are home to a variety of local businesses, creating a vibrant, and diverse community hub.

Logan Crossing’s location in Logan Square offers easy access to a wide range of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The neighborhood is known for its rich cultural heritage and lively arts scene, making it a popular destination for both locals and visitors. With its convenient location and impressive design, Logan Crossing already is becoming one of Chicago’s most sought-after residential and commercial destinations.

Quad Cities I-74 Iowa Illinois Mississippi River Bridge

This post features photos from our June visit to the Quad Cities for photography of the I-74 Iowa Illinois Mississippi River Bridge. Officially named “The Twin Bridges”, the new transportation infrastructure bridge project spans the Mississippi River connecting Bettendorf, Iowa to Moline, Illinois. We photograph structural art, infrastructure, architecture, buildings, industrial, bridges, transportation, and more around the Nationwide, so we we’re excited to be the selected photographer for this photo project close to home. We set out to capture a variety of photography to include ground photos from the shore, images on the suspension bridge, drone aerial, day, and night images of the arch bridges. It was the perfect summer seasonal weather for the shoot providing for pedestrians and transportation both passing over the new Mississippi River bridges.

MILLER+MILLER Architectural Photography was commissioned by Miguel Rosales of Rosales + Partners for a photography architectural photo shoot of the new I-74 bridge in the Quad Cities. The new I-74 Mississippi River crossing bridge construction connects the Illinois and Iowa state’s roads and transportation infrastructure – both a functional bridge with its infrastructure design, yet constructed as beautifully aesthetic designed structural piece of art. The arching white bridges are visible from long range viewpoints miles away from the Illinois and Iowa Mississippi shorelines during the day and when illuminated at night.

The new $1.2-billion bridge fully opened to road traffic on Dec. 2, 2021. The walkable, running, and bike friendly pedestrian portion of the bridge opened for use in April 2022 with the City of Bettendorf IA and Moline IL hosting a bike and pedestrian path dedication on May 18, 2022. Waiting for optimum weather and the exterior landscape with trees in the area to be full of green leaves, our photo shoot proceeded in early June. The I-74 bridge project is part of a regional strategy for improving access across the Mississippi. For updates on the I-74 River Bridge project, visit the bridge construction project website at I74RiverBridge.com.

Pedestrians and visitors to the bridge river crossing site are able to use the bike and pedestrian path which features on top a scenic overlook with a glass oculus floor. The oculus view point provides the public with a unique view through the glass of the Mississippi River flowing below as well as a viewing platform to view the west setting sunsets over the Mississippi river valley. The 10-foot diameter glass oculus is made of thick, safe to stand on with the tempered glass with a textured surface to provide traction. In the evening, the bridge glows with up lighting, and the entire path is lit at night to include the pedestrian bridge’s summit scenic water overlook. The fully separated pedestrian bridge is ADA accessible. The path connects to existing trails on both sides of the Mississippi River waterway between Davenport, Rock Island, Bettendorf, and Moline. The old I-74 bridge is planned for demolition.

On December 1, 2021, thousands of residents and visitors participated in a celebration walk over the new I-74 River Bridge and celebrated the future of the Quad Cities together.
