The Chicago Park District has approved funding for three major capital improvement projects across the city. Announced earlier this week, the approval came from their Board of Commissioners for work at Rainbow Beach, Ronan Park, and Cragin Park. This builds upon various previously announced projects including a new field house in Jackie Robinson Park.
Details have been revealed for the residential conversion of the office building at 739 S Clark Street in Printer’s Row. Located just north of the intersection with W Polk Street, the conversion is for the office portion of the Imprint mixed-use development. The project is being led by CMK Companies who is working on 1630 S Wabash Avenue nearby.
The Chicago Cubs made progress this week in their bid to install two large corporate logo signs near Wrigley Field, a move aimed at increasing revenue. Approved by the City Council Zoning Committee, the ordinance permits the placement of Coca-Cola and Benjamin Moore signs on buildings adjacent to the ballpark’s bleachers, signaling the team’s strategy to capitalize on advertising opportunities in the area as reported by Crains Chicago.
New Renderings have been revealed by Goettsch Partners for Halsted Landing Development.

Featuring a combined total of 2,451 residential units, the development will includes ground-floor retail spaces, 1,950 underground parking spots and 2,451 bike parking spaces.
Construction appears to have halted at 1630 S Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. Located just south of the intersection with E 16th Street, we covered the project in January as crews began foundation and piling work. The proposal is being led by CMK Companies with local architecture firm Pappageorge Haymes working on its design and Clark Construction on its execution.
