Demolition Complete for West Loop’s 1020 W Randolph Street

Demolition has wrapped up for a former single-story bank, clearing the way for a new five-story mixed-use building at Fulton Market‘s 1020 W Randolph Street. L3 Capital is the developer of the West Loop project, whose new edifice will house ground-level retail space and 22,000 square feet of offices on the upper four floors. Programming will also offer tenants a sixth-floor amenity penthouse and a nearly 2,000-square-foot terrace with skyline views.

Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture is behind the design , which will involve patterned red brick cladding, expansive four-paned windows, and stone and dark metal accents throughout. The 69-foot edifice will provide a modern twist to the masonry aesthetic of the neighborhood, while helping to re-establish the historic street frontage of the Randolph Street corridor.

While the development will not provide on-site parking spaces, bike storage will be offered, along with various types of public transportation in close proximity. Nearby bus access can be found for Route 20, located a six-minute walk southeast to Madison & Morgan. Also nearby are stops for Route 8, located a six-minute walk east to Halsted & Randolph. For those looking to board the CTA L, the Green and Pink Lines can be found within a two-minute walk northeast to Morgan station.

L3 Capital’s latest project reflects a new westward surge of densification for the neighborhood. As both Fulton Market Street and Randolph Street wrap up various developments near West Loop’s east end, various planned developments of different scales have sprouted up further west along these two corridors.
