Taking the second place in our 2023 countdown is the residential tower at 1000 S Michigan in the South Loop. Years in the making, 1000M as it is known, was originally proposed as a much taller stepped box design which was refined and shortened prior to its groundbreaking. The project is being developed by Time Equities, Inc., JK Equities, and Oak Capital, with Jahn/ Architecture working on the design.
Construction permits have been issued for the foundation and ground-breaking of 1730 S Wabash Avenue, a new 12-story building in South Loop. The permit, which was submitted on June 28, 2022, was approved on December 21, 2023, after a 541-day review process.
Breaking into the ninth place on 2023’s year-end countdown in the mixed-use development at 424 S Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. Located on the corner of E Van Buren Street and S Wasbash Avenue, the project is expected to break ground soon as it received its initial permits earlier this month. The development is being led by DAC Developments with The Sonder Group, partnering with Chicago-based Pappageorge Haymes Partners on its design.
Climbing into the 13th place in the 2023 countdown is the mixed-use development at 633 S LaSalle Street in the South Loop. Located just south of the intersection with W Harrison Street and across the street from the LaSalle station tracks, the building replaces a vacant lot within the small neighborhood. The project is being led by London-based developer The Collective with Fitzgerald Associates and Berkelhamer Architects working on its design.
The City of Chicago has issued construction permits for 1630 S Wabash Avenue, a 12-story residential building in the South Loop. Permits were issued on December 5, after a 188-day review period.
