The multi-unit structure sits on a property zoned for M2-3 Light Industry District, though this designation will likely be amended. The parcel is part a roughly 10,000-square-foot “tract” listed by Murray Wise Associates LLC for auction in 2019. This tract is one of three that make up a 1.7-acre combined site, formerly occupied by the produce market Stanley’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetables and located southwest of Sterling Bay’s planned Lincoln Yards megadevelopment.

As reported by Crain’s Chicago Business, the collective land was purchased for $11.75 million from the owners of the former market. Though the purchasing entity has not been officially published, the recently issued permit was filed under the name North Elston Noble LLC.
