Breakwater Chicago
 

This looks pretty awesome. Hope they can pull it off. I like how the rendering shows several go-fasts :party-smiley-004:

Awesome!

They have been talking about this for over two years now, saw it on FB and been following the FB page since back in early 2014. The last I heard they had no funding and the project was on life support. I hope it does happen, would be sick but in the mean time the Play Pen will have to do.

Yea, in the video they say that they've been working on the project for 2 years, but they certainly don't give any indications that they're on life support....but sadly, that's how many of these ideas end up before they finally kick the bucket.

As an aside, I've never been to the Playpen...would like to check it out sometime.

you can only wonder what some real waves will do to that ....

That video is a year old, look at the date it posted on YouTube, 2015

The Playpen is terrible....you're not missing anything lol...Just Kidding

I can understand a floating bar/nightclub....but a swimming pool? I mean its the playpen! jump off the boat and go swimming...why would i boat out to a floating island to go swimming?

I cannot fathom the political red tape it would take to make this a reality. This IS Chicago we are talking about...

Hell...before it's over, they'd probably have to incorporate some Section 8 housing into the plan to make it legal...
