A two-story building at 431 N Dearborn Street in River North constructed in 1948, has now completed a restaurant renovation led by The Group. Originally the engineering headquarters for the Getschow Company, and later hosting Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse until its closure in 2020, the site is owned by Friedman Companies.
Permits have been issued for the renovation of the Double Door Theater at 1050 W Wilson Avenue in Uptown. Located just east of the intersection with N Broadway, the famed nightclub will be finally relocating from its previous Wicker Park location. The project is being led by Double Down Development with local architecture firm Barker Nestor working on its design.
An existing retail structure at 431 N Dearborn Street is currently undergoing extensive interior and exterior renovation work, with new windows having now been installed. Built in 1948, this two-story River North building owned by Friedman Companies long served as the Getschow Company’s engineering headquarters. Most recently, it housed Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, which closed the location in 2020. The Group is leading the current revamp, which will consist of two new restaurants.
