New 18-Story Condo Tower Being Planned Near McDonald's Headquarters

Sulo Development was already planning to build a 9-story, 28-unit condo building at 19 N. May in Chicago’s rapidly growing West Loop neighborhood. Now, plans have changed and their earlier proposal has been expanded to include 18 stories and 73 condominium residences.
