A caisson permit was issued Friday for Bally’s Chicago Casino, marking the official start of new construction at the former Chicago Tribune Freedom Center site in River West. Though considered a big gamble by many, the casino can now get moving, with equipment already occupying the sprawling lot, and rebar cages and iron tubing waiting to be lowered into the ground.
Initial financing and updated renderings have been revealed for the upcoming Bally’s permanent Chicago casino at 777 W Chicago Avenue in River West. Sitting just east of the intersection with N Halsted Street, the project will replace the former Chicago Tribune site which received demolition permits recently. The casino has been in the making for a few years and led by Bally’s with a large design team including famed firm HKS Architects.
A new zoning application has been submitted for the mixed-use development at 330 N Clark Street in River North. Located almost on Chicago river, the new building would rise in the small parking lot at the northeast corner of the existing Reid Murdoch Center. Although it was originally proposed in 2016, the project has received a handful of changes over the years as it has worked towards getting off of the ground. Now developer Friedman Properties is proposing another change to the HKS Architects-designed structure.
Move-ins have begun for the new six-story building at 1123 W Randolph Street in West Loop. This mixed-use mid rise by Interra Realty comes with retail spanning the lower two levels, while the upper floors house a total of nine for-rent apartment units.
With scaffolding now removed and final facade and interior touches underway, we now have a final picture of the six-story 1123 W Randolph Street development in West Loop. Planned by Interra Realty at the corner of Randolph Street and May Street, this mixed-use mid-rise is poised to accommodate retail space on the first two floors and nine apartment units on the remaining four floors.
