Major changes are underway for an entire city block at the heart of Fulton Market. Bound by West Fulton Street to the south, North Sangamon Street to the west, and North Peoria Street to the east, three different projects are underway at various stages of planning, with the last remaining piece now going up for sale by its current owner.
The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use proposal at 1338 West Lake Street in the West Loop. In the works for a few years now, the high-rise would sit on the corner with North Ada Street and replace a large vacant lot that formerly housed Hindman Auctioneers until its demolition late last year. Plans were also approved by the Plan Commission earlier this year.
The Chicago City Council has approved zoning for the upcoming mixed-use affordable development at 3251 West Division Street in Humboldt Park. Revealed earlier this year at the intersection with North Spaulding Avenue, the project would replace a large vacant lot on the western end of the neighborhood.
Initial details have been revealed for the potential hotel conversion of part of 875 North Michigan Avenue on the northern end of the Magnificent Mile. The iconic tower, commonly known as the John Hancock Center, is working on reimagining itself as it faces high vacancy rates like others in the surrounding area. The parking and office floors are owned by local firm Hearn.
Demolition work has begun as part of the redevelopment of the retail complex at 1800 North Clybourn Avenue in Lincoln Park. Sitting on the corner with North Sheffield Avenue, the project has been in the works for a few years and has been significantly downsized from its original iteration in 2024. Now, the team is moving forward with the revised plans.
