Posted by Helaine Cohen on
A new proposal recently made headlines that could possibly bring 252 new apartments to Chicago’s highly-coveted Old Town neighborhood. According to a recent report from Curbed, the Chicago Plan Commission has approved a new, large-scale development that would ultimately replace Old Town’s Noble Horse Theatre if built.
An initial rendering has already been released of the possible project by developer LG, and the project’s design is apparently from Chicago-based NORR Architects. Located at 1415 N.

One Bennett Park is easily one of downtown Chicago’s most high-profile buildings to be announced since the latest construction boom started a couple years ago. Being developed by Related Midwest, there’s hardly a more elegant high-rise currently in the pipeline than One Bennett Park, which is just one of many reasons why it’s so highly-anticipated.
Reports have recently surfaced that detail another condo development possibly coming to River North, this time over at the southwest corner of Wells and Ontario. Currently, Carson’s Ribs occupies the site, however, if developers move forward with the project, the existing building and the adjacent parking lot would be replaced by the contemporary new condo tower, which could potentially include 31 luxury condo residences.
No. 9 W. Walton is one of downtown Chicago’s most high-profile developments under construction right now, and according to a new listing that was just added to the MLS, unit #1603, the building is already almost sold out.
Earlier in the month, a new condo project dubbed The West Loop Collection officially hit the MLS, giving potential buyers a first look at what could be some of the most luxurious condo units to be developed in this part of town in quite some time. But not to be outdone another boutique building in the works over at 1000 W. Monroe in the West Loop has also apparently started pre-sales, which could potentially bring another small batch of larger three-bedroom condo residences to market sooner rather than later.
While development around downtown Chicago has been widespread throughout much of 2016, new projects are also continuing to pop up around Lincoln Park as well. Most recently, a new mixed-use development called Elevate is grabbing the attention of area residents, which will include 191 new apartment residences, 16,300 square feet of ground level retail space, and parking for 138 vehicles once fully finished.
Construction permits have reportedly been issued for the new McDonald’s headquarters in the West Loop, which will no doubt continue to transform the neighborhood even more so than the current development boom we’ve seen over the past few years.Â
Millennium Park is located near the New East Side and the Lakeshore East communities just steps from the Loop’s financial district. With Millennium Park being a 24.5-acre park and lakefront cultural venue that has become one of the most significant projects in the world thanks to its fascinating structures, living close by certainly has its advantages. Developed as part of a unique partnership between the City of Chicago and the philanthropic community, Millennium Park is a state-of-the-art collection of world-class sculptures, musical venues, and landscape design that makes it especially appealing in the summertime.
The month of September is now in the books, which means numbers are just now starting to be released regarding how the market fared last month. According to Redfin, the Near North Side saw the highest number of sales in September, tallying 261 sales overall, which is good enough to be a 5.24% increase compared to a year prior.
