Foundation work has commenced on a new five-story residential building at 438 W St. James Place in Lincoln Park. Developed by St. James Interest LLC, the project will house four condominium units, each with four bedrooms. Originally planned as a 10-story structure, the design was scaled back in response to community feedback and the limitations posed by the 33-foot-wide site.
A new 15-story hotel at 1016 W Lake Street, Fulton Market, has been approved by the Plan Commission. Cogswell Realty and Erol Stapleton bought the site for $6.6 million, and are planning 143 hotel rooms, which is an increase from the originally planned count of 130. The ground level will house a lobby and a small commercial space, with the second and third levels designated for amenities. A 3,400 square-foot sky-lounge with an outdoor deck is planned for the top floor.
