JDL Development has revealed plans for the proposed North Union development in Near North Side. Generally bounded by the CTA Brown Line tracks and W Oak Street, W Chestnut Street, and N Wells Street, the North Union site will span eight acres. Consisting of 15 buildings across the entire property, the design team includes Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, Goettsch Partners, Latent Design, and Omni Workshop.
Construction has reached the seventh and final floor of a mixed-use building planned for 300 W Division Street in Near North Side‘s Old Town, just north of the major Old Town Park development. YIMBY previously reported that The Domain Group had planned the building to be just over 100,000 square feet and house both one-bedroom and micro/studio apartments.
Renovation work is well underway and approaching completion at the base of 500 N Michigan Avenue, which is located along Magnificent Mile, aka Michigan Avenue, just north of the river. Skidmore Owings & Merrill originally designed this 24-story modernist structure, completed in 1968.
Window installation has begun at 551 W Elm Street, where a seven-story mixed-use building has been co-developed by Parkside Four Phase II, LP and Holsten. According to construction permits issued December 2019, the Near North Side project will include 69 residential units, as well as additional office and community space.
Renderings have been revealed for an updated 29-story mixed-use tower at 1130 N State Street in the Near North Side. The project site is located on a corner lot at the intersection of N State Street and W Elm Street. The Clark/Division CTA L station, serviced by the Red Line, can be accessed within a four-minute walk. The 36 CTA bus route can be accessed on the corner of the site at the State and Elm stop. Newcastle Limited is in charge of the development.
