The Chicago Committee on Zoning has approved plans for the upcoming residential development at 1201 West Kinzie Street in the West Loop.

The six-story loft office building at 168 North Clinton Street in the West Loop was permitted for demolition on January 22.

Renderings have been released for interiors in the upcoming Oxxford Lofts residential conversion at 1220 West Van Buren Street in the West Loop.

Site prep is underway for construction of the new residential project at 566 West Van Buren Street in the West Loop. Developer Riverside Investment & Development and general contractor Clark Construction scored three big permits in March, including caissons, tower crane, and the full build, and with work expected to begin in the middle of this month, tearing up the asphalt parking lot and potholing caissons now fits perfectly within that schedule.
