The Chicago Plan Commission approved Thursday proposals to bring almost 1,500 new apartments to Fulton Market, replace Lincoln Park’s closed Royal George Theatre with an eight-story apartment building, and kick-start the redevelopment of a West Englewood school shuttered for a decade, as well as several other projects. All proposals still need full City Council approval.
“The whole goal of our design was to set our buildings farther apart,” he said, “allowing light to come down to the street level.” Fulton Market is already Chicago’s busiest construction zone. Greystar Real Estate Partners opened this month One Six Six, a 21-story apartment building at 166 N. Aberdeen St. in Fulton Market. Projects underway include a 28-story tower by Shapack Partners rising at 1353 W. Fulton St., and Sterling Bay’s 225 N. Elizabeth St., a $155 million, 350-unit tower. The plan commission in July also approved plans for 375 N. Morgan St.
It was a busy day for the Plan Commission. Members approved a host of projects, including the replacement of the Royal George Theatre at 1649 N. Halsted St., an expansion of Fifth Third Arena, the Chicago Blackhawks practice facility and community ice rink at 1801 W. Jackson Blvd., and The Resurrection Project’s proposal for a $44 million, 100% affordable housing development at 2134 S. Ashland Ave. across the street from Pilsen’s Benito Juarez High School.
