The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the mixed-use development at 370-401 N Morgan Street in the West Loop. The three-structure proposal will center around the intersection with W Kinzie Street and built in phases, replacing multiple existing buildings just north of the Google Midwest headquarters. Developer Vista Property is moving forward with gathering all necessary approvals for the Gensler-designed development.
A preliminary construction permit has been issued for a major new residential project located at 1723 S Michigan Avenue in South Loop. The development will comprise a new 13-story building with a total of 149 residential apartment units and 98 parking spaces. The project’s ownership lies with the 1725 S Michigan Development Corporation.
This month, the Plan Commission will review an ambitious project led by VISTA Property Group, designed to significantly reshape the West Loop’s Fulton Market in the form of three mixed-use towers. Gensler is behind the design for this major new development, which will be divided into two separate phases.
The 24-story mixed-use building at 360 N Green Street, after reaching its 399-foot height, is approaching the completion of its facade installation. Located in the Fulton Market district, this building is developed by Sterling Bay, a company with several nearby properties at different stages of development. It will include offices, 5,400 square feet of retail space, and tenant amenities across 500,000 square feet.
The Committee on Design has reviewed plans for the mixed-use expansion of the Black Ensemble Theater (BE) at 4427 N Clark Street in Uptown. Dubbed ‘The Free To BE Village’ and located across the street from the theater’s current building, the new development will replace a one-story commercial building and surface parking lot. Developed by the theater itself, they have contracted a design group made up of Nia Architects, Gensler, and Site Design Group for the work.
