Initial caisson permits have been approved for the mixed-use development at 193 N Columbus Drive in Lakeshore East. Located just north of the Blue Cross Blue Shield tower and commonly known as Parcel O, the project is finally moving forward after a multi-year delay. Led by developer Parcel O LLC, as a stand-in for Magellan Development Group, the proposal is being designed by local firm bKL Architecture whose offices are right next door.
Coming in fourth place in our 2023 countdown is the mixed-use development at 1114 W Carroll Avenue in Fulton Market. Located on the intersection with N May Street, the building replaces an empty lot as part of a two-structure project which is part of the Fulton Park Campus. Both buildings are being developed by Texas-based Trammell Crow who also built Fulton Labs nearby.
Located at 350 N Canal Street in the Fulton River District, the ‘Cassidy on Canal’ is a 33-story high rise developed by The Habitat Company and Diversified Real Estate Capital LLC. At fifth place in our year-end construction countdown, this mixed-use structure stands at 355 feet and is currently in the final stages of its facade installation.
