The Carmen, a new-construction apartment building from Chicago Developer DLG Management, is adding its finishing touches ahead of a spring opening.

The exterior appears 100% complete, likely leaving only a few interior details to be tidied up before people move in.

A trio of permits for the 1000 block of West Jackson Boulevard in the West Loop are a good sign that a construction start could be just around the corner for 1016 West Jackson.
