Chicago under Construction: Burberry's on Michigan

It was only last August when Burberry's two-story North Michigan store, dating from the 1980's, quickly disappeared into the ground.  In it's place is what's reported to be a five story replacement.  If Burberry has a published a final version of the design, I haven't seen it, although a year ago, the Chicago Architecture Blog published what they said was an early sketch, which you can check out here.

So here's some photos documenting the progress so far, aided and abetted by our indefatigable correspondent Bob Johnson, who they actually let up into adjacent buildings so he can get the striking aerial shots.
