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 West Loop is easily one of Chicago’s hottest neighborhoods right now, and it’s also widely considered to feature many of the city’s best restaurants and eateries too. But along with all the trendy bars, restaurants, and cafes along Randolph Street and even a long stretch of Madison, part of the West Loop landscape also includes a lesser known sub-neighborhood called the West Loop Gate, which lies just across the expressway from what many consider to be the heart of the neighborhood.

It was all the way back in December of 2015 that plans for a new health-conscious hotel from the Equinox Fitness chain were unveiled, but since then, not much else has been discussed. 

But earlier today, Curbed Chicago hinted this large-scale new development could once again be on the horizon thanks to the posting of several new renderings on SkyscraperPage.
