A groundbreaking has been held for the upcoming Advocate Trinity Hospital at 8000 South Lake Shore Drive on the northern end of the future Quantum Park. The large vacant site sits on the corner with South Brandon Avenue, with the hospital structure occupying the eastern portion of the land. Efforts are being led by Advocate Health along with CannonDesign.
Further details and renderings have been revealed for the upcoming hospital tower at 333 East Huron Street in Streeterville. Set to replace one of the largest vacant lots downtown, the new tower will be an expansion of Northwestern Memorial Hospital and would add to the hospital’s cancer facilities as well as overall bed-count.
Initial details have been revealed for the upcoming residential conversion of the existing office building at 209 West Jackson Boulevard in The Loop. Also known as the McKinlock Building, the structure sits on the corner with South Wells Street and has suffered a similar fate as many surrounding buildings, with low office occupancy rates post-pandemic.
Additional renderings have been revealed as the Chicago Community Development Commission approves TIF funds for the upcoming Foundry Park megadevelopment. Sitting on the western edge of Lincoln Park, the project has already received approval from City Council and is set to replace the northern half of the former Lincoln Yards site.
The Chicago City Council has approved plans for the mixed-use development at 2137 West Irving Park Road in North Center. Just a few months ago, we last covered the project when the development team revealed a construction timeline culminating in 2027, with the approval being the last piece missing prior to a groundbreaking this summer.
