The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a new retail building at 939 N Rush Street in the Gold Coast. Located near the intersection with E Oak Street, one of the premier retail corridors in the city, the proposal would replace an existing three-story structure built in 1957 that was most recently occupied by Italian fashion brand Brunello Cucinelli and has since moved next door. Developer JMB Realty LLC is working with local design firm Stephen Rankin & Associates on the new storefront.
A permit was issued yesterday for the new construction of a four-story residential building at 1822 N Howe Street in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. The owner is listed as 1820 Howe Development LLC, and the current plans indicate this project will yield a total of seven dwelling units. The second- and third-floor units will feature front balconies as well as private decks at the rear. This will be a striking build with a porcelain paver roof deck and pergolas; there will also be a detached eight-vehicle garage with its own rooftop deck. The development will replace a previous structure on the site which according to records, was approved for demolition in January 2021.
Updated details and renderings have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 360 N Green Street in Fulton Market.

This will be the third iteration we’ve seen of the finalized design and presented to the community yesterday with further explanation of the changes.
