Just north of the Randolph & Aberdeen intersection in West Loop, Greystar Development’s 166 N Aberdeen Street can be seen rising past the second floor. The 21-story project involves a mixed-use package of ground-level retail and 224 total apartment dwellings. Greystar purchased this parcel, a former sausage factory, for $6 million from MCZ Development.

21 stories was a major win for Fulton Market a couple years ago. I’m really pleased that it’s not that exciting anymore.
Mind-boggling when you think about it. Great win for the city!!
Love these amazing maps and images you have made. I’m just curious, did you add 1044 w van buren yet?
It appears the map does include 1044 W. Van Buran.
Thank you Bobby! I still need to add both 1044 W Van Buren and the 1035 W Van Buren. Also stay tuned for UIC Comp Sci building just to the south
Thanks Jack. Again, amazing job. I love coming to this site everyday. I am finishing my degree in Urban planning at UIC and I always tell people about this site and your models.
Finest news for all us
