The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the mixed-use development at 1300 W Lake Street in the West Loop. Located on the northwest corner with N Elizabeth Street in the growing west end of the neighborhood, the proposal was first revealed in March of this year before going in front of the Committee on Design. Now Loukas Development receives another approval for the slightly redesigned tower from bKL Architecture.
In collaboration with bKL Architecture, Loukas Development has unveiled a renewed design for the proposed skyscraper at 1300 W Lake Street. The mixed-use structure, a 46-story tower planned for the western portion of Fulton Market, will now stand 537 feet, slightly taller than the original 530-foot proposal.
The St. Regis Chicago has taken its last major step forward towards completion with the opening of its hotel component at 401 E Wacker Drive in Lakeshore East.
