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 Plan Commission has approved plans for a new multi-building development at 3265 North California Avenue in Avondale. Sitting just north of the intersection with West Belmont Avenue, the proposal has been in the works for over a year now, with the current downsized iteration having been brought forward in February.
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 Committee on Zoning has approved the mixed-use proposal at 2652 West Chicago Avenue in West Town. Sitting on the corner with North Washtenaw Avenue, the project was revealed in 2025 and updated this past February. This was due to feedback from neighbors on the density, parking, and rental nature of the property, which spilled over into our comments.
Partial funding has been initially approved by the Community Development Commission for the first phase of Morgan Park Commons. Located at 11400 South Halsted Street in Morgan Park, the multi-phase development will replace a large vacant lot that formerly held a Jewel Osco shopping plaza on the corner with West 115th Street.
