220 North Ada joined 1717 Michigan recently in removing a tower crane from Chicago’s construction landscape, as glass installation starts to creep higher up the building’s exterior.
Work on the glass exterior for 919 Fulton in the West Loop is nearly complete. Only a few panes need to be installed where the construction hoist was recently removed from the north end of the structure.
Two demolition permits issued for the West Loop by the City of Chicago on January 10 could indicate that the start of 1201 West Fulton construction is near. One demo permit is for the Christensen & Olsen Foundry Company building at 218 North Racine Avenue, and the second permit will raze the former Revel event space at 1201 West Fulton Market.
Construction of a single-story standalone restaurant is nearing completion at 564 West Taylor Street in the West Loop. The corner site will be the newest Chicago location of Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, the fast-serve chain based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This property had been vacant for several years following the demolition of a deteriorated one-story masonry building.
The Chicago City Council has approved the residential conversion of the loft building at 1220 W Van Buren Street in the West Loop. The historic factory building sits near the corner with S Racine Avenue and would join various developments nearby like 1060 W Van Buren. Efforts for this are being led by Base 3 Development with Filoramo Talsma Architecture.
