The demolition of the Tribune Freedom Center has been mostly completed at 777 W Chicago Avenue in River West. Located on the corner with S Halsted Street, demolition began over six months ago on the former printing facility on the Chicago River. Replacing it will be the new Bally’s casino, hotel, and entertainment complex.
Ground has been broken, and foundation work is underway, for a new residential building at 691 North Milwaukee Avenue in West Town. Replacing an empty lot created by a 2017 fire at 695 North Milwaukee, the new development will deliver 34 units in a five-story with basement structure. Mo2 Properties is the company behind the development, with Panoptic Group performing general contractor duties, and SPACE Architects + Planners doing the design work.
Details and a timeline have been revealed for the construction of the W Chicago Avenue and N Halsted Street intersection in River West. The project comes at the same time as the adjacent Bally’s Casino received initial funding and a new design. The project is being led by the Chicago Department of Transportation.
Initial financing and updated renderings have been revealed for the upcoming Bally’s permanent Chicago casino at 777 W Chicago Avenue in River West. Sitting just east of the intersection with N Halsted Street, the project will replace the former Chicago Tribune site which received demolition permits recently. The casino has been in the making for a few years and led by Bally’s with a large design team including famed firm HKS Architects.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the multi-phase Halsted Landing development at 700 W Chicago Avenue in River West. Sitting on the intersection with N Halsted Street on the banks of the Chicago River, the project is the eventual continuation of Halsted Point across the water. Both of these are being led by Canadian developer Onni Group who has been bullish on Chicago in recent years.
