This tower and 1529 N Fremont (financed and ready to start construction) are both gonna be major for improving this area. My wife and I walked from North / Clybourn to the Wild Mile for an event earlier this summer, and it felt so much bleaker than it should. Like we ate at a nice Sweetgreen with a shaded outdoor dining area… that overlooked a parking lot. I will say the REI area / “The Seng” development, whatever brewery is down there, and the Wild Mile itself all looked very nice.
I like that 1565 N. Clybourn project. Its location is significant.
This whole area near this particular river path should be redeveloped.
Dense developments literally running parallel to it along its path would be sweet. The area West of that Home Depot too. Just run down, prime location.
Most of that is the site of Lincoln Yards. I believe the site along the river just East of the Home Depot was formerly General Iron, a controversial metal recycler that tried to move to the SE Side. Sterling Bay said they aren't interested in incorporating that site into the larger development, but they do also own a scattering of other sites nearby. Hopefully if they can't continue development soon, they will sell some of the land for the financing to move forward with something.
It will be 3 towers, though at the moment it seems that only this one tower at 370 N Morgan is about construction-ready. I believe it had been phased into 2 phases, though I am wondering it it may have been broken to 3 since they only seem to be doing permitting for the one tower right now
