New details have been revealed for the mixed-use proposal at 23 South Sangamon Street in the West Loop. Sitting at the intersection with West Monroe Street and across from Mary Bartelme Park, the project would replace a large vacant lot and has gone through multiple iterations after being initially revealed over five years ago.
The elevator and stairway cores are topped out at nine stories for the residential building at 135 West Desplaines Street in the West Loop. At the foot of those stacks of block, work has reached the second level, but has not progressed far since we last visited the site in early June. Concrete block is forming the south wall of the second floor, with additional pallets of materials on hand for further construction.
The demolition project we’ve been documenting of the vintage loft office building at 168 North Clinton Street is nearing its completion in the West Loop. After receiving permission to tear the structure down in January, the demo crew from Atlas Industries got to work in May, tearing down the building from the north façade inward, then working their way toward the front along Clinton Street.
Updated plans have been revealed for the upcoming mixed-use development at 400 North Morgan Street in the West Loop. The project, sitting on the corner with West Kinzie Street, would be the second phase of a larger three-lot proposal led by developer Vista Property, with the first phase nearing completion across the street at 370 Morgan.
Construction progress has reached the sixth floor at 566 West Van Buren in the city’s West Loop neighborhood. That’s where Clark Construction and Adjustable Concrete Construction are erecting a 12-story, 199-unit apartment building for Riverside Investment & Development. The three concrete cores for stairways and elevators have risen about eight stories high.
