Commercial development is downright insane in and around Fulton Market right now, and one local developer has clearly taken notice. As first reported by Curbed, McCaffery Interests has recently updated a marketing plan for a prime location at 1201 W. Lake Street, taking a rather simple and conservative rendering and transforming it into a proposal that’s considerable more chic, stylish, modern, and what some might say a little more tech-centric.
The exterior of the newly proposed commercial development at 1201 W. Lake will also go from having 89,000 square feet of space to 132,000 square feet, which will also include 16,000 square feet of retail space and even interior parking for 42 vehicles.

Back towards the beginning of last summer, developers announced plans to build a luxury 27-unit condo building right across the street from Groupon’s headquarters at 600 W. Chicago Avenue. Since then, there’s been hardly any movement whatsoever with the project, and it appears now that Chicago-based Domus Group is switching gears and developing a totally new rental building instead. 
River North is home to some pretty extravagant condo buildings, and as you may have noticed, its inventory of available units just got a little broader. Although strongly opposed by nearby neighbors because of safety-related concerns, condos at the controversial 403 N. Wabash development have now hit the MLS, all but making the project official.
Plans for a very impressive new project that could potentially bring a new high-rise to the highly coveted air rights space of Union Station have once again popped up on the radar, as first reported by both Crain’s and Curbed early last week.
The future of Chicago’s newest luxury tower officially starts today. In case you haven’t heard, groundbreaking for the city’s stunning new Vista Tower begins today, which when finished, will bring a collection of fabulous new hotel rooms and luxury condo residences to a prime location right alongside the Chicago River.
A fancy new condo development is seeking city approval that will no doubt feature some of River North’s coolest new condo residences once finished. What was originally planned to be a 10 story development from MCZ Development is now a pretty slick 12 story development from Chicago-based LG Development.
Recent news reported by Crain’s continues to confirm The Loop’s on-going transformation into a red hot location for anybody looking for a downtown apartment—and this time, it’s looking like a vintage Loop commercial building could be slated for a residential conversion sooner rather than later.
It’s been a little while since we’ve heard about Riverline—the mega South Loop mixed-use development in the works that will totally redefine the neighborhood as we know it. But late last week, new details emerged about the project that directly relate to when we might finally see work for this massive undertaking begin.
With so many new apartment developments coming through the pipeline, and now even quite a few condo buildings (see No. 9 Walton, 808 Wells, and 403 N. Wabash just to name a few), the Aurélien is a fabulous new rental tower that has to some degree slipped through the cracks a bit.
