A caisson permit has been issued for the property at 11040 South Doty Avenue in Pullman, allowing work to begin on a four-story, 100-room hotel. The Pullman Hotel Group is the recipient of the permit, which was applied for on June 13 of last year and issued on April 29. A pending full building permit in the Chicago Data Portal shows an application date of November 4, 2024. This first permit shows a reported cost of $600,000 for caisson work.

The hotel will be located near the intersection of Doty Avenue and 111th Street, half a mile’s walk from the Pullman National Historical Park at 111th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, and the magnificent Hotel Florence on Forestville Avenue.

Earlier reports about the proposed hotel indicated it would be a Hampton By Hilton Hotel. Design work was performed by architect Deon Lucas of Beehyyve, and Powers & Sons Construction has been assigned to general contractor duties.

  1. And if it fails as a hotel it can always be repurposed as rental storage units esp since that’s what it already looks like in the renders.

    • Agree! Making no attempt to fit in to the historic neighborhood…not a single red brick!

        If I may play devil’s advocate for a moment: It’s next to a Culver’s and a Walmart. Red brick might fit in west of the rail tracks and industrial buildings, but on this site would look more out of place than a prototypical Hampton Inn does.
