The Morgan CTA L station, serviced by the Green and Pink Lines, is a six-minute walk away from the site. The 20 CTA bus route, accessible from the Madison and Racine stop, can be reached within an eight-minute walk from the site.

The project will undergo community review and require approval from the local alderman before moving through the city review process. The development will need approvals from the Chicago Plan Commission, zoning approval, and a final approval by Chicago City Council. An official timeline for the construction has not been announced.

  1. Build it! Chicago needs some more Morris Adjmi.

    • Agreed, this looks really nice, love the outdoor space provided as well and the relatively small amount of car parking.
