The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) has unveiled a finalized master plan for the redevelopment of the former Cabrini Green sites on the Near North Side. Earlier this year, we covered three proposed development schemes with varying densities presented to the community. After receiving feedback, an updated plan was presented this week ahead of its implementation next year.
Building permits have been issued for the redevelopment of the former Otis Elevator Company foundry at 1600 S Laflin Street in Pilsen. Sitting on the intersection with W 16th Street and bound by rail lines, the block-long building has sat vacant for years before plans were approved by the city over a year ago.
A new hospital has been announced on the northern end of the upcoming Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park. Approved by the Chicago City Council last week, the 400-acre redevelopment of the former South Works site has now picked up another tenant as Advocate Health Care has pledged to spend $1 billion in the next decade across multiple projects.
New plans have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 750 W North Avenue in Lincoln Park. This comes after the approval of previous plans for the site under a different developer lapsed, allowing for local developer Base 3 Real Estate to swoop in with a new proposal designed by Red Architects.
The Committee on Zoning has now approved the residential conversion of the historic Millinery Mart at 65 E Wacker Place in The Loop. Sitting right by the river and home to Morton’s The Steakhouse on its ground floor, efforts for the project are being led by local developer Mavrek Development.
