Construction has kicked off for the first tower of Halsted Pointe at 931 North Halsted Street on Goose Island. Sitting on the southeastern tip of the island, Halsted Pointe is replacing the now-demolished Greyhound bus facility just across the river from the upcoming Bally’s Casino. Canadian developer Onni has been working on the proposal for a few years now.
The Evanston City Council has approved plans for the city’s newest—and tallest—tower at 605 Davis Street in the heart of downtown. Located near the intersection with Chicago Avenue, the proposal will replace a vacant lot and a drive-thru bank just east of the city’s current tallest structure, Orrington Plaza.
Details have been revealed for an upcoming mixed-use development at 3265 West Armitage Avenue in Logan Square. Located mid-block between North Sawyer Avenue and North Spaulding Avenue, the project has been in the works since last fall, according to the local alderwoman’s website. The development is set to replace a large parking lot and an adjacent building.
Zoning variations have been approved for the mixed-use proposal at 315 South Jefferson Street in West Loop Gate. Pitched earlier this month, the mid-rise development is set to replace a small surface parking lot just steps from Union Station and The Old Post Office. Efforts are being led by a local developer, with Built Form LLC serving as the design team.
Slightly altered plans have been revealed for the upcoming mixed-use proposal at 900 Clark Street in Evanston. In the works for over a year, the structure would rise on the corner of Clark Street and Maple Avenue and is being led by Continuum Development, which is also behind the new curved tower at 2800 North Sheridan Road in Lincoln Park.
