With its core and superstructure now above ground level, the planned 27-story development at 160 N Elizabeth Street has received its full construction permit in West Loop. Prior to construction, this parcel along the Randolph Street corridor was previously occupied by a collection of low-rise masonry buildings. This 293-foot, mixed-use replacement will have a dramatic presence as one of the largest new developments contributing to West Loop’s rapid urbanization.
