Related Midwest hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, June 17, at the construction site of 400 Lake Shore, their new two-tower residential development in Streeterville. Repurposing the former Chicago Spire site, the 72-story North Tower is currently under construction; the South Tower will follow. The North Tower will deliver 635 residential units, with 20% of them set aside as affordable.
Roosevelt Square Phase 3B, a 67-unit apartment building from the Chicago Housing Authority and Related Midwest, has topped out in the Little Italy neighborhood. Located at 1002 S Racine Avenue, the six-story building has its windows in place and is now awaiting the start of exterior cladding.
220 North Ada received a full building permit on June 12, allowing general contractor Clayco to take the new apartment tower to its full 29-story height. Working in tandem with concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction, the core is rising on site now, while a parking ramp is taking shape. As of Friday, crews have reached the underside of the second floor across most of the half-block-long site.
Just three weeks after the Chicago Plan Commission approved construction for 400 North Elizabeth, it has received a demolition permit. The Plan Commission meeting was held May 16; the demo permit was issued June 6. That means activity is imminent on the two-story, 724-unit apartment development in the Fulton Market District of the West Loop.
Chicago’s newest tower crane has been erected in the South Loop, allowing a 13-story residential building at 1723 S Michigan Avenue to begin its ascent. 1723 South Michigan is a 149-unit rental tower from developer CMK Companies, and is designed by Gensler.
