This week developer DL3 Realty, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and other city officials celebrated the groundbreaking of Thrive Englewood Phase 1, a mixed-use development at 914 W 63rd Street in Englewood. Replacing a vacant grass lot by the intersection of 63rd & Halsted, the broader plan will contain two phased structures yielding 105 mixed-income residences and 2,400 square feet of retail.
Facade work has now completed for The Reed, a 41-story residential tower at 234 W Polk Street in South Loop. Developed by Lendlease, the 447-foot-tall tower comprises 440 units, including 216 condominiums and 224 apartments, with one-, two-, and three-bedroom options ranging in size from 630 to 1,670 square feet. Prices range from the low $400,000s to $1.4 million.
Initial construction permits have been approved for the first phase of the mixed-use Thrive Englewood development at 914 W 63rd Street in Englewood. Located on the corner with S Halsted Parkway near Kennedy-King College, the multi-phase project received City Council approval late last year and is now one step closer to breaking ground. Developer DL3 Realty has worked on similar projects nearby including the recently announced Washington Park National Bank building, and is working with Perkins + Will on Thrive’s design.
A new six-story mixed-use building has received caisson permits at 6249 S Sangamon Street in Englewood. The project is being developed by Thrive Englewood and is being built to contain a total of 61 dwelling units, including 2 live/work spaces and ground floor retail. The architect of record listed in the project is Perkins+Will.
In fourth place in Chicago YIMBY’s year-end countdown of tallest construction projects is The Reed, a 41-story residential high rise in South Loop. The 440-unit, 447-foot tower is being developed by Lendlease as the next installation in their Southbank masterplan. Situated under the address 234 W Polk Street, the project is the second tower to be built after The Cooper adjacently east, as well as two acres of parkland and a riverwalk running alongside the Chicago River’s south branch.
