Situated at 350 N Canal Street in Fulton River District, the mixed-use “Cassidy on Canal” can be seen undergoing facade work.

Currently at the 14th level, the project offers both retail and residential spaces.
The Chicago City Council has received the application for the mixed-use development at 8840 S Commercial Avenue in South Chicago.

Developer 548 Capital is leading the project that will preserve an existing structure while adding affordable housing designed by Rivetna Architecture and Farr Associates.
Preliminary facade work can be seen at North Wells Capital’s 16-story, mixed-use building located at 311 W Huron Street in River North. This structure, which now stands 226 feet tall, is primarily designated for office spaces, with Spins set to occupy 48,000 square feet within the top three floors.
