Construction progress at 1043 N Rush Street, a mixed-use development in the Near North Side, has reached the completion of structural work for its two floors. The 20,709-square-foot project, led by L3 Capital and designed by GREC Architects, is characterized by a future exterior of tan brick cladding, dark metal features, and arched bays on the street level.

The building’s ground floor, covering 80 feet in frontage, is set to house three retail spaces, labeled Units A, B, and C. These units vary in size from 2,359 to 2,609 square feet. The upper floor is planned to accommodate Carmine’s restaurant, which will include a street-facing entrance and a setback terrace overlooking the Rush & Division Streets area. A section of the ground floor will also provide street-level access to Carmine’s.

L3 Capital has indicated the potential for a single tenant to combine the ground floor units up to 7,418 square feet. The Swiss shoe company “On” will occupy part of the ground floor, but the specific number of units they will use is not yet determined.
