Phase two of Big Deahl is now closer to completion. The four-building development sits in Chicago’s Lincoln Park.

The residential tower at 1475 N Kingsbury Street is one of the newest high-rises to come to Clybourn Corridor. The first floor of the building will be reserved as retail space, while more than 300 apartments will be housed on its upper floors.

Following a successful shakeup of the office market with its coworking space, WeWork is now ready to turn the tables on the residential market in Uptown. WeWork’s next focus involves taking on multifamily apartment buildings.

The former office building is currently in the process of being turned into apartments. The location marks WeWork’s 12th space in Chicago.

In all, there will be 60 private offices to utilize, more than 170 desks and some kitchen space. Some of the space will be reserved for those who

Thinking about buying but worried about rising mortgage rates? Well, rents are also on the rise in Chicago, where some landlords have recently hiked rates of up to 20-percent. At a time when tenants are finding apartments harder to come by and even less affordable, landlords are using higher rents to help compensate for some of their lost revenue from the pandemic. Some are also trying to combat their own higher repair and operating costs, due to rising inflation.  

That has some residents turning to tenant rights organizations, which are calling for better rent control. On the flip side, others argue rent control isn’t the answer because it will drive out some landlords and lead to a greater number of poorly maintained properties.

A Chicago-based development group is eyeing a 21-story apartment tower just one block east of the Magnificent Mile, a project that could be the first new construction apartments Streeterville has seen in five years.

According to Crain’s, Chicago-based Marek Development is partnering with Chicago-based architecture firm NORR to bring 248 apartments to the northeast corner of East Grand Avenue and North St. Clair Street, and the building would also include 41,000 square feet of office space, 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and parking for 100 cars.

Believe it or not, downtown apartment construction has been on the upswing over the past year as rents and occupancies have recovered fro pandemic-induced declines.

Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood is on track to add more than 9,000 new apartments. If all goes as planned, reports suggest it could mean more new apartments in the West Loop than the combined total of all of the city’s other downtown neighborhoods.

Apartment development has really taken off in the Fulton Market District in recent years. There are currently about 19 multi-family developments either in the planning stage or already under construction in the district.

New residential development is perhaps the latest phase for Fulton Market, which has recently welcomed in a number of major companies and corporate headquarters. One of the latest apartment projects, meanwhile, is a 30-story building located at 160 N Morgan Street.

A new apartment tower could be coming to Streeterville. The planned high-rise sits just one block east of the Magnificent Mile on a corner lot that’s currently occupied by a parking garage.

Mavrek Development is joining with GW Properties and Luxury Living Chicago Realty to build the 21-story apartment building at the corner of North St Clair Street and East Grand Avenue.

Hundreds of new apartments could be coming to the West Loop. Two local developers have proposed a new 36-story apartment building, which could mean 362 more apartments for the area. 

The site sits on South Green Street, close to the Jane Byrne Interchange. It’s currently home to low-rise buildings and a parking lot. 

If all goes through, the new apartment tower will be one of the tallest buildings in the neighborhood. The architect for the 404-foot building is locally based Goettsch Partners.

Plans call for the building to rise up from a three-story podium, which includes some parking spaces. One of the developers, Golub & Co, already has projects in the Loop, South Loop and Streeterville.

The other developer, GSP Development, has ties to Glen

Fulton Market could soon make way for a massive new apartment tower. If the plan goes through, it could become one of the largest residential complexes in Fulton Market.

The plan calls for a 32-story tower with 433 residential units on West Fulton Street. The developer behind the project is Fulton St Companies, which is working in conjunction with Chris Merrill, co-founder of Harrison Street Real Estate Capital.

The duo purchased the property at 1201-1215 West Fulton Street last fall for $20 million. Morris Adjmi Architects is the firm responsible for designing the new tower.
