Demolition is almost complete on the former Cougle Commission Co. building at 345 North Aberdeen Street in Fulton Market. A permit to tear down the single-story structure was permitted on March 10; demo fencing had surrounded the site on a trip through the neighborhood back in late February, so the permit came as no surprise. Another visit Tuesday, March 18 turned up mostly rubble and scrap material.
A pair of buildings at Racine and Fulton in the Fulton Market District are in various states of destruction, as Heneghan Wrecking works to clear a site for redevelopment. A visit during the last week of January showed little remaining of the former Revel space along Fulton, and a visit Monday showed the demo crew making their way toward the front of the Christensen & Olsen Foundry Company building at 218 North Racine Avenue.
Two demolition permits issued for the West Loop by the City of Chicago on January 10 could indicate that the start of 1201 West Fulton construction is near. One demo permit is for the Christensen & Olsen Foundry Company building at 218 North Racine Avenue, and the second permit will raze the former Revel event space at 1201 West Fulton Market.
The former Fox Deluxe Foods building has been demolished at 370 North Morgan Street in the Fulton Market District. That clears the way for developer Vista Property Group to get started on the 32-story 370 North Morgan. They don’t plan to break ground until the first quarter of 2025 though, so expect to see this lot vacant for a couple months before activity flares up again.
The first step in the construction of a new residential tower at 370 North Morgan Street in Fulton Market has been taken, as crews begin demolition of the Fox Deluxe Foods building on the site. Crews from Skender and Heneghan Wrecking started prepping the site at the beginning of the month, and the teardown began immediately. A demo permit for the property was issued by the City of Chicago on the first of October.
