The Chicago Park District has released the first iteration of its framework plan for the future of Grant Park in The Loop. Bounded by East Randolph Street to the north and East Roosevelt Road to the south, the 319-acre park is commonly known as “Chicago’s Front Yard.” The plan outlines a vision for how the city could remodel and expand the park in the coming years.

Plans have been revealed for the residential conversion of the existing hotel building at 201 East Walton Place in Streeterville. Sitting on the corner with North Mies Van Der Rohe Way, the property currently operates as Sonesta Extended Stay Suites and would close ahead of the conversion. Efforts for this are being led by Churchwick Partners.
