Owners of Webster Place looking to reposition their center and get in on the LY action.

The owner of Webster Place shopping center in Lincoln Park wants to expand the property with two big residential towers, but it first may need to clear up a legal dispute with one of its biggest tenants.

RPT Realty has shown investors its preliminary redevelopment plan, which would reconfigure the 30-year-old shopping center at Webster and Clybourn avenues. A Barnes & Noble store would close, making room for an expansion of a Regal Cinemas movieplex.

New York-based RPT, which bought Webster Place in 2017, also has sketched out plans for a podium with two roughly 20-story towers on sites just south of the shopping center, according to a slide used in an investor presentation at the end of October. The expansion would include residential, office and retail space, as well as parking.

^ Not bad, although that's the least atrocious shopping center on that portion of Clybourn.

I don't get it--there must be a rule that the uglier and more auto-oriented the strip mall, the longer it sticks around...

That intersection (Chicago and Milwaukee) has undergone so much change in the past 10 years.

With all the changes, the CVS is now out of character with the surrounding area. Someone better replace it with a high rise

Anyone heard anything on this proposal?

La Salle and Maple UNITS:300 PARKING SPOTS:19
The 39-story Near North Side condo by MCZ Development is actually slated to have 135 spots. But the vast majority of them will go to the neighboring Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral (though residents will be able to lease spaces from the church).

For some reason that sounds really familiar, but can't find anything on it. Needless to say, getting a 39 story building there would be awesome. That parking lot sucks:

Mileau is actually pretty visible from 290 and coming in on Ogden. Starting to stick out alot from the circle ramps too...

I saw on a Curbed Chicago article that 1125 W Van Buren and 1050 W. Van Buren had both been approved. I don't remember seeing 1125 W Van Buren before. This had me wondering though what happened to the Harry Potter tower?

The West Loop is making my head spin. I'm starting to doubt its building craze will ever end, even if the economy takes a downturn in a few years
