Further details have been revealed for the upcoming mixed-use redevelopment of the existing structure at 167 North Morgan Street in Fulton Market. Located mid-block between West Randolph Street and West Lake Street, the existing three-story industrial building has sat vacant for the last few years across the street from the newly completed The Dylan.

Efforts for the project are being led by local developer Hubbard Street Group, who is also behind developments like Wicker Park Connection and the curved-glass 412 North Wells. The plans were presented to the community and call for a complete demolition of the interior of the structure, preserving most of the facade and punching out new windows.

The windows will allow for the creation of a 3,348-square-foot commercial space occupying the majority of the ground floor, joined by a small residential entrance and bike room. The rest of the floors, along with the recessed two-story addition above, will contain 20 residential units made up of 12 one-bedroom and eight two-bedroom layouts.

Of the unit total, four will be considered affordable. There will be no on-site parking nor any individual or shared outdoor space. The Hirsch MPG-designed building will feature black metal panels along the addition, while using matching brick to infill portions of the facade to be filled in. The project will now need to gain zoning approval, with no timeline known.

Nice preservation. The addition isn’t the prettiest but the setback will mitigate that, at least from the street.
