The new Guinness Open Gate Brewery Chicago, located at 375 North Morgan Street in Fulton Market, is now readying for a September 28 opening. This venue in Fulton Market signifies the brewer’s second venture in the US, following its inaugural location in Baltimore.
Glass and metal installation has begun at 1114 West Carroll Avenue, a 34-story mixed-use high rise in Fulton Market. Led by Trammell Crow Company, the building will include 368 residential units and ground-floor retail spaces. Amenities include a pool, fitness center, rooftop terrace, and deck, along with parking for 95 vehicles and 185 bicycles.
For this year’s Chicago Architecture Biennial, architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) introduced a concrete substitute made from algae, known as Bio-Blocks™. Integrated into a spiral wall for the demonstration, this material was developed in partnership with Prometheus Materials and offers a carbon-neutral construction alternative. The installation is located at The Mews in the Fulton Market District and is hosted by Shapack Partners, Focus, and Walton Street Capital. Biennial visitors can walk around the wall and observe its response to environmental factors like wind and moisture.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the mixed-use development at 800 W Lake Street in Fulton Market. Located on the corner with N Halsted Street at the eastern edge of the neighborhood, the project is the latest iteration of proposals for the site that previously held a few commercial buildings. Developers Ascend Real Estate and Intercontinental Real Estate Group are working with GREC Architects on the current design.
The facade of the 19-story mixed-use development at 210 N Aberdeen Street in Fulton Market is nearing completion. Spearheaded by LG Development Group, the “Arthur on Aberdeen” spans 420,000 square feet and occupies an L-shaped footprint, bordered by Aberdeen Street to the east and May Street to the west. The building will feature 363 residential units, with an additional 10,000 square feet allocated for retail.
