The Chicago City Council has approved the two-tower development at 170 N May Street and 175 N Racine Avenue in Fulton Market. The approval comes after the Plan Commission’s earlier this year, as Chicago based LG Development pivoted from previously announced plans for the site by a different architect and included land north of W Lake Street.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the mixed-use development at 170 N May Street and 175 N Racine Avenue in Fulton Market. Bound by W Lake Street to the north, the multi-phase project will replace a now vacant lot that previously held a commercial structure. Efforts for the project are being led by Chicago-based LG Development.
Facilities for a new Lubavitch Girls High School are under construction at Devon Avenue and North Whipple Street in West Ridge. Students had been attending classes in schoolrooms attached to the Congregation Bnei Ruven at 6350 North Whipple; the new two-story masonry building will update and modernize the educational experience.
The updated plans for the mixed-use development at 170 N May Street and 175 N Racine Avenue, as well as a revision for the lot at 210 N Racine Avenue, will head to this month’s Plan Commission meeting. Located along the intersection with W Lake Street within the Fulton Market District, the multi-phase project was initially revealed over four years ago with a different design.
LG Development is expanding its vision with a new proposal for two apartment towers in the Fulton Market District. The firm plans to construct a 25-story building with 287 units at 170 N May Street and a 38-story tower with 380 units at 175 N Racine Avenue. This revised proposal is an increase from their previously approved plan for a 29-story high-rise with 486 units as reported by therealdeal.com.
