With a coveted location right along infamous Michigan Avenue, the luxury condos of 1000 S Michigan present an extraordinary new option in upscale living within one of Chicago’s most exciting areas. The condos of 1000M are now listed on the market, with a prime address just across from Grant Park and mere steps from the lakefront.

The new construction tower houses spacious condos complete with private outdoor living space. As well, the walls of windows throughout the tower make it easy to admire city and lake views.

The building additionally supplies a sun deck on the 11th floor, complete with a swimming pool and fire pit. As well, you’ll also find a spa, library lounge and a club with a full-service bar.

Additional amenities range from a sky

From its premiere location to its ultra-luxurious designs, you’re sure to love living within any of the exclusive residences of Hayden West Loop. The new construction building offers less than 30 residences, each with its own exceptional features that together make the building one of the most sought after in the Chicago area.

All ranging from around 3,200 to 5,000 square feet, the spacious floor plans include mostly three-bedroom homes, along with a handful of duplex penthouses. The massive windows of the homes open up to private outdoor space, while the building itself also rewards residents with private and secure elevator access to the homes. 

As well, residents are also sure to enjoy indoor heated parking, bike storage and the convenience of a

One Chicago developer is pulling out all the stops when it comes to efforts to lure another Amazon headquarters to the area. The proposal offers the possibility of a new concert and sports venue close to the Chicago River, and Sterling Bay is even reportedly in discussions with city leaders, production companies and professional sports leagues about a possible partnership.

As of late, the outline includes a network of riverside buildings, interconnected via a walkway from upper levels of two towers. As well, plans also call for a so-deemed “urban campus”, featuring an open quad between rows of much taller towers.

State and city leaders made a formal bid for the new headquarters a couple of weeks ago. It includes the possibility of nearly a dozen

A new skyscraper could soon soar to new heights in the West Loop, where developers are making plans for a new 51-story tower. Slated for a site just off ‘Restaurant Row’, plans call for 300 new residential units, more than 200 parking spaces and some new commercial space in Fulton Market.

The recently filed zoning application sheds some light on the project, calling for a slender structure that’s much different in design than many of the existing low-rise buildings that surround the site. The same developer bought up the land for the now proposed tower, as well as some of the existing buildings a couple of years ago, and dubbed the project 900 West.

While phase one already has retail tenants signed to inhabit the rehabbed low-rise buildings next

The proposed construction of two towers in River North could generate a new contender when it comes to the city’s tallest structures. A newly submitted application calls for one of the towers to rise 1,011 feet, or rather 76-stories. If all goes as planned, the development would make that building one of Chicago’s tallest.

The second tower is planned to rise up 45-stories high, or rather 583 feet. Altogether, the two buildings would deliver more than 900 new residential units, upwards of 650 parking spaces, and a large amount of retail and office space. There are reports that the residential units will include mostly rentals, but also some condos. 

While renderings of the project have not been publicly released, the two towers will rise from a

A former office building will soon be transformed into apartments, as part of a conversion project involving the old Hartman Building. Located at 30 E Adams Street, the building dates back to the mid 1920s, and is well known for housing Miler’s Pub on its ground level.

The city just approved a permit allowing the developer to start work on the project. The conversion involves transforming the building into more than 170 rentals. It’s projected the cozy units will each occupy around 500 square feet.

Along with the residential units, reports suggest that amenity space will be added to the building’s 13th and 14th floors. As well, a new elevator penthouse will join the 15th floor of the building.

The conversion project is just one of a number of

A new mixed-use development could soon be coming to River West. Developers recently submitted a zoning application to construct a 23-story structure at the corner of Carpenter and Milwaukee. 

Plans call for replacing a one-story building and parking lot that currently reside at the site, while also rehabbing a mid-rise office building. In all, the proposal would bring more than 200 new residential units, office space and some ground level retail space to the area. There would also be parking for nearly 100 cars and storage for upwards of 160 bicycles. 

The development still needs approval of a zoning change from manufacturing to downtown mixed-use. If all goes through, though, the new development will go up right across the street from a new

The 606 Trail has done wonders for west side neighborhoods like Bucktown, Wicker Park, and parts of Humboldt Park. Now, walkers, joggers and cyclists will soon be able to enjoy a new, nearly two-mile long trail, connecting various parks and communities within Chicago River’s North Branch, just the 606 did nearby. According to reports, crews just officially broke ground on an elevated recreational trail named 312 RiverRun, which is just one more outdoor amenity to add to the rapidly growing list here in the Windy City. 

When completed, the trail will extend the riverwalk from Horner Park to Clark Park, and on to California Park, giving pedestrians an easy way to reach Albany Park, Irving Park, Avondale and North Center, all connected via the trail. 

Plans are in the works to redevelop the old Tribune Media printing site into a reimagined “River District”, with upwards of a dozen new buildings along the riverfront. The 37-acre site doesn’t have a developer just yet, but that’s not stopping Tribune from pushing ahead with plans to design thousands of new residences and millions of square feet of new construction along the Chicago River.

Recently unveiled plans also call for a street connecting Chicago and Grant avenues and extending the Downtown Riverwalk. If completed, it’s expected the new property could translate to around 19,000 jobs and generate more than a billion in property taxes over the next couple of decades. 

The news comes shortly after the same company announced a four-tower

What’s now a parking lot could soon turn into a new 10-story building on Jefferson Street. A developer hopes to gain a special use zoning variation to construct the new residential mid-rise building close to Union Station.

Located at 315 S Jefferson, plans call for nearly 70 residential units to be constructed within the building. While the size of the planned building itself does not require a variance, the developer wants to change the required parking from a standard of 1 to 1 per residence to a total of five parking spots for the entire building.

Since the proposal hasn’t been introduced to councilors yet, more detailed plans for the building are not yet public. Residences living within 1,000 feet of the site did receive a letter but it does not
