Uber is expanding in Chicago, this time gearing up for a move into a massive amount of rental space inside Chicago’s Old Post Office. The rideshare company reportedly signed a lease for 450,000 square feet of space in the building.

That makes it the building’s largest tenant by far. Until recently, Walgreens held the largest lease with 200,000 square feet of space.

Construction is slated to begin next spring on the new Uber offices. According to reports, the space will help accommodate thousands of Uber employees. Several months ago, Uber acknowledged it was looking for a larger space to consolidate its Uber Freight workers with employees from Uber Eats and Uber Ride.

There are plenty of reasons to want to live in Chicago, but traffic may not be at the top of your list. A newly released study found Chicago drivers spend a whopping 73 hours a year stuck in traffic. 

That’s considerably higher than the national average of just 54 hours. The study comes from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. It recently released the findings as part of its 2019 Urban Mobility Report.

The report puts Chicago tenth in the nation in terms of the number of hours drivers waste commuting. Chicago took the number three spot in terms of the cumulative time spent in traffic.

All that time is also costing area drivers money. In Chicago alone, the study determined that’s about $1,300 per commuter. 

The study took a look at traffic…

The iconic Lake Point Tower condo building could be returning to rentals. About 30 years ago the tower changed from rentals to condos, and it appears the property may change back, and make history once again.

First constructed as rental apartments in the late 1960s, the property converted to condos in the late 1980s. At that time, it was the city’s largest conversion project. If the condos revert to apartments, it would again break records, this time marking the largest condo-to-apartment conversion project in Chicago history.

According to reports, some condo owners recently received letters inquiring about buying up units in the building and changing them to rentals. Current state law requires at least 75-percent of ownership to be in agreement in order…
