Book excerpt: With a focus on three case studies, the 1929 Daily News building, the 1930 Merchandise Mart building, and the Boeing building completed in 1990, all in Chicago, this thesis will study how air rights legislation and design were established in America, specifically in building over rail lines. It will mark the historic change in legislation 'claiming the space above,' which enabled building over existing railroad lines in busy downtown Chicago to be among America's first air rights building developments. This thesis will also explore precedents in the City of London, England, at the time of the expansion of the tube subway system of transport, where "air rights over rail" was strictly purpose-built for potential future commercial development at a much smaller scale prior to the large-scale developments in the three case studies. The first case study, the Daily News building, is a key development over railroad in the thesis, which outlines the history of early air rights developments, construction, and locomotion achievements that enabled air rights development, including long-span, cantilever, and suspension engineering; vibration and sound dampening and lift systems; as well as the effects of steam and electric engines for locomotion on air rights design. The second case study, the Merchandise Mart building, serves to illustrate how quickly developing legal language adapted to air rights. The Boeing building, the third case study, is notable as the tallest development in Chicago built over rail. It will serve to illustrate advancements in development and use since the Daily News building pioneered these rights. The case studies are located at the Chicago River edge, where rail for passenger and freight transit was established as an outer band to Chicago's central downtown development. The thesis is supplemented by glossary of air rights terms.
