Residents will find a swath of restaurants and retail to the north along various corridors such as Madison Street, Randolph Street, and Fulton Market, while also having close access to the downtown core. Not only is the site just north of 290, but also in close proximity to a range of public transit options. Bus transit can be found for Route 126 within close walking distance, while the nearest Blue Line L service is available via a five-minute walk to Racine station.

Interesting that Landmark West Loop is missing from the renderings and the model.
Going to add some more West Loop/IMD/UIC projects in soon! For the renderings, I would agree with UnionMade that it might just be because the buildings are so close to each other that it would be tricky to showcase 1044 W Van Buren from the front
Landmark would reduce this building to background fodder from the angles of the renders. Not good for showcasing the building.
The aerial view looking northwest shows two orange sections with grey in between. Are they salvaging part of an existing building?
This is just leftover from the base model – just corrected so the massing fills the whole site. The previous structures on the site have been demolished
Thank you again for all of these models. Just amazing. Can’t wait to see if all of the blue is approved and will be built.
