Another Apartment Development Proposed For the West Loop
Posted by Leo Clark. on
A new report from Curbed has revealed that yet another new residential project could be in the works for the West Loop, which at this point is hardly a surprise. As one of the hottest neighborhoods in town, the West Loop is absolutely booming right now, and the latest proposal on the table is a new 52-unit apartment building that’s slated for 128. S. Laflin.
Currently occupying the site is a small one-level industrial building, which would of course be demolished should the project gain approval and construction eventually move forward.

There’s hardly a hotter place to call home right now than the West Loop, although with how quickly homes, condos, and lofts move on the west side of downtown these days, there’s also hardly a more difficult place to secure a new place to live than this part of the city too. 
If you pay any attention at all to Chicago’s robust real estate market, chances are you’re already familiar with at least some of the large-scale development that's currently underway throughout much of the bustling West Loop neighborhood. Easily one of downtown’s hottest locations to live, work, and play, there’s hardly been a better time to jump into the West Loop housing market and invest in one of the most sought-after places to live in all of Chicago right now, and as the neighborhood continues to evolve, more and more opportunities to do just that are rapidly coming through the pipeline. 
Although the West Loop is easily one of the hottest neighborhoods in Chicago right now, convenience still plays a major role in deciding which home, loft, or condo feels like the right fit. And yes, finding a place that checks off as many boxes on your wish list still applies to even neighborhoods in Chicago that happen to be as popular as the West Loop.
As widespread development continues all throughout the neighborhood, the West Loop real estate market continues to stay red hot. Once a bustling warehouse district full of industry, the West Loop landscape is much different in 2017 than it even was five or six years ago, let alone long before that.
The West Loop is hands down one of the hottest neighborhoods in Chicago right now. From the announcement of numerous large-scale commercial and residential projects like the new McDonald’s headquarters or Landmark West Loop to overall vibrant atmosphere that basically surrounds ‘Restaurant Row,’ Madison Street, the Fulton Market area, and just about every other nook and cranny in the community, it’s hard to argue against West Loop being one of the top places to call home in the city.
As commercial development continues to transform Chicago’s West Loop and Fulton Market neighborhoods, developers are also planning more apartments to serve what will inevitably be a substantial influx of people wanting to live nearby.
