A new tenant has been revealed for the long vacant Treasure Island grocery store building at 1639 N Wells Street in Old Town. Located just north of the intersection with W North Avenue, the large space is part of the larger area redevelopment led by Chicago-based Fern Hill. The building will receive a facelift led by GREC Architects who are working on the tower next door.
Climbing to the 25th place on our 2023 countdown is the residential development at 1630 S Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. Located just south of the intersection with E 16th Street, the project replaces a long-time vacant lot across the street from Anderson Park. Though no formal renderings have been revealed, it is being led by CMK Companies with Pappageorge Haymes serving as the designer.
Further details have been revealed for the new mixed-use development at 1565 N Clybourn Avenue in the Near North Side. Located on the northeastern corner of the intersection with N Halsted Street, news on the high-rise broke last week as a community meeting was announced by Alderman Brian Hopkins. The meeting brought new information on the The Georgetown Company-led development which is being designed by bKL Architecture.
Claiming the 27th spot on our year-end countdown are The Foglia Residences at 1134 S Wood Street in the Illinois Medical District. Sitting on the northwestern corner with W Roosevelt Road, the project was announced in 2021 and broke ground last year. The building replaces a parking lot owned by The Chicago Lighthouse who partnered with Brinshore Development on the LBBA Architects-designed structure.
Snatching the 28th spot in our year-end countdown is the redevelopment of the former Sears store at 4712 W Irving Park Road in Portage Park. Sitting on the six-corner intersection with N Cicero Avenue and N Milwaukee Avenue, the project adds density to the intersection anchored by Clarendale Six Corners which took the 31st spot in our 2021 countdown. Finishing touches are currently being added by developer and general contractor Novak Construction.
