166 N Aberdeen Street Reaches 16th Floor in Fulton Market District

Structural work has reached the 16th floor for a new 21-story mixed-use building at 166 N Aberdeen Street in Fulton Market District. Developed by Greystar, the 241-foot high rise will be primarily apartments atop ground-level retail space. The current construction marks the second phase of a two-part scheme, whose first installment is the 11-story mixed-use building directly across Aberdeen Street. In 2021, Greystar had purchased the second phase site from MCZ Development for $16.6 million.

There will be 224 rental units, ranging from one-bedrooms to three-bedrooms. Of this unit count, 24 will be designated as affordable, while an additional 24 will be subsidized off-site. Greystar will also contribute $1.87 million to the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund that provides investments to businesses in Chicago’s west and south neighborhoods.
