West Loop development

Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) said the project could be stalled because the city and developers don't agree on how many on-site affordable units there should be.

The proposed building on Washington Boulevard would include 288 apartments, retail and a rooftop deck.

Months after city officials lifted a ban on housing north of Lake Street, City Council approved LG Development's revised plan for a 19-story, 414-unit apartment building at 210 N. Aberdeen St.

Developers aim to bring 433 apartments to 1201 W. Fulton Market St., an area that had long been off-limits to new residences. It currently houses the Revel Fulton Market event space.

The project would bring 320 apartment to 160 N. Morgan St. It would be Sterling Bay’s first residential development in the West Loop.

Long off limits for residential projects, the approval now means new developments are allowed within the Kinzie Corridor Overlay District, bounded by Ogden Avenue, Carroll Avenue, Hubbard Street, Halsted and Wayman streets.

Ald. Walter Burnett Jr. (27th) said the neighborhood was “blessed” developers' interest hasn’t tempered during the pandemic.

The 19-story condo building is planned across from Mary Bartelme Park and the 12-story apartment building is planned near Union Park.

The 109-foot-tall building would include 63,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and a rooftop deck near the corner of Lake and Green streets.

The alderman has long eschewed residential development north of Lake Street, but a new measure could lift the de facto ban for a small portion of Fulton Market.

City Council also approved a new apartment building at the former Henry Horner Homes site on the Near West Side.

Fulton St. Companies wants to bring 433 apartments to 1201 W. Fulton Market St., an area that had long been off-limits for new residences.

The city's Plan Commission also signed off on a nine-story office building at 1229 W. Randolph St.

If approved by the city, the building would be Sterling Bay’s first residential project in the neighborhood.

Canada-based developer Pacific Reach Properties wants to build a 47-story and a 40-story tower each with more than 500 units and retail space.

Nearly half of buyers already live in the neighborhood, according to the project’s developer.

The nine-story project is set to feature multiple terraces, a rooftop deck and ground-floor retail space.

Plans for the office building at 911-925 W. Fulton Market will be detailed at a community meeting Tuesday.

The West Loop building boom is showing no signs of slowing down.
