The Committee on Zoning has now approved the residential conversion of the historic Millinery Mart at 65 E Wacker Place in The Loop. Sitting right by the river and home to Morton’s The Steakhouse on its ground floor, efforts for the project are being led by local developer Mavrek Development.
The glass curtain wall is being installed at the topped-out 220 North Ada residential tower on Chicago’s Near West Side. Thanksgiving week saw the first level of windows go up on the building as high-rise development continues to push its way further west in the West Loop. A tower crane permit issued last week indicates that construction could begin very soon just a couple blocks north at 400 North Elizabeth, while the 368-unit Flora apartment tower at 1114 West Carroll Avenue just opened in mid-October.
1208 West Wellington Avenue, a new three-story, four-dwelling unit residential building, has been approved in Lake View. When complete, the property will feature a roof deck with roof access and a rear stair. In addition, project work will result in the construction of a detached four-vehicle garage with a roof deck and pergolas.
A tower crane permit has been issued for the first phase of the mixed-use development at 400 N Elizabeth Street in Fulton Market. Sandwiched between N Ogden Avenue and W Kinzie Street, the permit comes quickly as the project was approved this summer after pivoting from a single life-sciences building to two residential towers.
Demolition permits are in place for two properties in Edison Park in anticipation of a new residential development along North Northwest Highway. Two buildings that comprised the former M.J. Suerth Funeral Home, at 6750 and 6752 North Northwest Highway, received demo permits from the City of Chicago on October 24.
