Further details have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 1310 S Ashland Avenue in the Near West Side. Bounded by W Hastings Street to the south and W 13th Street to the north, we recently covered its partial permit approval which can be found here. Efforts for the project are being led by a local developer, with Axios Architects working on its design.
At 310 North Peoria Street in the Fulton Market District, a fifth story is being added to the former Wolf, Sayer, and Heller warehouse building. Designed by Adler & Sullivan, the building is being preserved and renovated as part of a mixed-use development that will include a hotel on the current Fulton Market Kitchen site at 311 North Sangamon. Renovations include adding a restaurant with outdoor dining space at street level, plus a lobby that will eventually connect to the future hotel.
The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use building at 8340 S Martin Luther King Drive in Chatham. Located just south of the intersection with E 83rd Street, the proposal will be replacing a long term vacant lot. Efforts on the project are being led in collaboration by ZPACT Developers LLC, SPM Properties & Development, and Park Manor Christian Church.
Continuing our Sister Cities series, we return to Milwaukee, where a new proposal has been unveiled for the world’s tallest mass-timber tower. Located at 1001 N Water Street on the western edge of downtown, the project will replace a multi-story parking garage with a three-tower high-rise development. Efforts are being led by local developer The Neutral Project.
A steel framework is forming inside the shell of the Second Church of Christ, Scientist in Lincoln Park. That’s where Ogden Partners is developing a six-story building containing 22 three-bedroom units while saving the west, south, and east façades of the 120-year-old church. The church, at 2700 North Pine Grove Avenue, has been holding its services and meetings on Zoom, but will occupy 4,700 square feet of ground-floor space in the new building upon its completion.
