Chicago’s newest tower crane has been erected in the South Loop, allowing a 13-story residential building at 1723 S Michigan Avenue to begin its ascent. 1723 South Michigan is a 149-unit rental tower from developer CMK Companies, and is designed by Gensler.
1723 South Michigan, a 13-story, 149-unit apartment project from developer CMK Companies, has set a tower crane base on the construction site in the South Loop. A pending tower crane permit on file with the City of Chicago will allow for the full assembly of the crane once the permit is issued.
Further details and renderings have been revealed for the potential mixed-use development at 345 N Aberdeen Street in the West Loop. Replacing the former Cougle Commission factory on the intersection with W Carroll Avenue, news on the development broke earlier this year as developer Sterling Bay prepares to sell the site.
The Chicago City Council has sanctioned a $25 million bond for The Ave, a multi-family housing project. The Ave, which won the Chicago Ave Invest South/West RFP site in late 2021, will be situated at 3601 W. Chicago, replacing the existing Neighborhood Housing Services office and a city-owned commercial building. The project, led by KMW Communities, POAH, and CEC, will be a four-story structure housing 52 affordable apartments, a Neighborhood Housing Services space, an innovation center, 16,000 square feet of retail space, and a ground-floor parking area for 32 vehicles.
