Construction on the 33-story mixed-use tower dubbed “Cassidy on Canal” has surpassed the 14th level in the Fulton River District. Located at 350 N Canal Street, the 375-foot-tall high rise will contain 343 apartments and approximately 1,300 square feet of retail space. The project is a joint effort between The Habitat Company and Diversified Real Estate Capital LLC, and is replacing the former five-story Cassidy Tire Building.
Chicago YIMBY’s Sister Cities series continues as we take a look at the newest building rising to redefine the skyline of Milwaukee. Located at 909 E Michigan Street on the intersection with N Lincoln Memorial Drive in downtown, ‘The Couture’ replaces the previous Downtown Transit Center and is directly across the street from the lakefront and Summerfest grounds. Developer Barrett Lo Visionary Development has been working on the project for a few years with Milwaukee-based RINKA Architecture.
A new three-story, two-unit residential building has received permits at 1448 W Flournoy Street in Little Italy. The filing also calls for the main structure to be accompanied by a detached two-car garage with a rooftop deck.
The Chicago City Council has given the green light for 640 W Randolph Street, a 15-story mixed-use development project in the West Loop Gate neighborhood. The development, situated at the intersection with N Des Plaines Street, will replace an existing surface parking lot near the highway. Vista Property Group and Antunovich Associates, who have previously collaborated on projects at 741 N Wells and 609 W Randolph, are the driving force behind this new development, employing a similar industrial-inspired design approach.
Updated plans have been announced for a new healthcare facility at 1601 N Harlem Avenue in the Galewood sub-neighborhood of Austin.

Now Rush Oak Park Hospital, part of the Rush Hospital system, has presented updated plans for their new outpatient center along with the site’s owner Novak Construction.
