Updated plans have been revealed for the upcoming redevelopment of the Emmanuel Congregation at 5959 North Sheridan Road in Edgewater. Earlier this year, we revealed some of the first renderings for the multi-building plan, which came after multiple rounds of community meetings and four different massing iterations.
Additional details have been revealed as permits have been issued for the upcoming residential development at 545 East Oakwood Boulevard in Bronzeville. Sitting on the corner with South Vincennes Avenue near Mandrake Park, the proposal will replace the existing Holy Angels School building, which has been closed for nearly a decade.
Plans have been revealed for the residential conversion of the existing hotel building at 201 East Walton Place in Streeterville. Sitting on the corner with North Mies Van Der Rohe Way, the property currently operates as Sonesta Extended Stay Suites and would close ahead of the conversion. Efforts for this are being led by Churchwick Partners.
Construction has kicked off for the first tower of Halsted Pointe at 931 North Halsted Street on Goose Island. Sitting on the southeastern tip of the island, Halsted Pointe is replacing the now-demolished Greyhound bus facility just across the river from the upcoming Bally’s Casino. Canadian developer Onni has been working on the proposal for a few years now.
The Evanston City Council has approved plans for the city’s newest—and tallest—tower at 605 Davis Street in the heart of downtown. Located near the intersection with Chicago Avenue, the proposal will replace a vacant lot and a drive-thru bank just east of the city’s current tallest structure, Orrington Plaza.
