Hopefully these additionally residential units will help with the economic vitality of the area.
In my day this was referred to as a dorm
6 parking spaces?! Heck yes. Time will tell if this concept of communal living will attract young folks of college age and entering the professional realm. I for one think it’s a great idea.
This is a great infill in the South Loop. This looks like something NYC has going up all the time, but not so much here. Great design on the building too and always nice to see new residents added to the area. It would be great to see thousands more apartments and retail added in this area to not make it so sleepy.
