The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the massive redevelopment of the United Center parking lots dubbed The 1901 Project in the Near West Side. Centered around the 30-year-old arena, plans were revealed last year by the Reinsdorf and Wirtz families, owners of the Bulls and Blackhawks respectively.
Renderings have been revealed for a pair of upcoming South Loop projects that have been in the works for a few years. Located at 1630, 1700, and 1730 S Wabash Avenue, we’ve only seen elevations of one of these as the others are set to rise as-of-right. All three proposals are being led by CMK Companies, who updated their site with the images.
Initial details have been revealed for the residential conversion of 309 W Washington Street in The Loop. Located on the intersection with N Franklin Street near the river, the historical building joins others across the city center in conversions as well as sits across the street from the last vacant lot within The Loop.
Plans are advancing to rezone a long strip of Broadway across the far north side. Led by the Department of Planning and Development (DPD), the proposal will upzone Broadway from Montrose Avenue on the south end, to Devon Avenue to the north. Plans have been presented to the local community twice already with a third meeting expected on January 30th.
Initial details have been revealed for a potential residential development at 605 Davis Street in Evanston. Located on the intersection with Chicago Avenue, the building will become Evanston’s tallest and replace an existing vacant lot and bank ATM. Efforts for the project are being led by local developer Vermilion Development.
