Caissons were permitted Friday to get construction started on the residential tower at 370 North Morgan in the Fulton Market District. This is the second permit issued for the property, with the tower crane permit coming through on the final day of January. The application was filed on July 29, 2024. Skender is the general contractor, with McHugh Concrete as the concrete contractor and operator of the tower crane.
Demolition is almost complete on the former Cougle Commission Co. building at 345 North Aberdeen Street in Fulton Market. A permit to tear down the single-story structure was permitted on March 10; demo fencing had surrounded the site on a trip through the neighborhood back in late February, so the permit came as no surprise. Another visit Tuesday, March 18 turned up mostly rubble and scrap material.
The new construction permit was issued on January 31 for the tower crane that will build 370 North Morgan in the Fulton Market District. While that doesn’t necessarily mean construction will be get started in the immediate future, it’s a good sign that activity could begin soon. Skender will be the general contractor; as the concrete contractor, McHugh Concrete will oversee tower crane operation.
Work on the glass exterior for 919 Fulton in the West Loop is nearly complete. Only a few panes need to be installed where the construction hoist was recently removed from the north end of the structure.
Plans are advancing for the mixed-use development at 640 W Randolph Street in West Loop Gate as permits have been applied for in order to commence construction. Originally announced over two years ago, the project is being led by Vista Property Group who also built the mostly fully leased 609 W Randolph nearby.
