A Texas developer is planning a 300-unit apartment tower at Fulton Market and Ogden Avenue, a major project that would push real estate development to the western edge of the fast-changing neighborhood.

High Street Residential, a subsidiary of Dallas-based developer Trammel Crow, plans an 18-story luxury apartment tower at 1375 W. Fulton Market, said David Gamperl, one of the parcel's owners. The 39,000-square-foot site is currently a surface parking lot.

Very happy to see this area getting some spillover development from Fulton Market. The Ashland Green Line corridor seems like a great place to invest in right now.

if you were a development firm you would be insane not to be trying to get into that market right around..... THERE

I'm happy to see this, right now Ogden is such a disappointing street with almost no retail or mixed use anywhere, just parking lots and industrial/institutional shitboxes. Considering it was supposed to be a Parisian-style boulevard, any mixed-use development is welcome news, even if this is somewhat out-of-scale.

Ashland Green Line is unfortunately a rather sketchy station, with public housing nearby and an addiction/methadone clinic right there. Both of those things are unlikely to change despite development pressures.

It looks like the McDonald's drive through remains...

^ Out of scale? Indeed you are turning NIMBY on us

I agree about Ogden. So much untapped potential. Could be a great boulevard, the south side version of Milwaukee Ave

I work a block or two from this location. They just paved the parking lot there. I'm a bit skeptical that this particular area will be a desirable place to live for a matter of years. It's quite a distance from the hot part of Fulton Market and you have no walking access to any grocery stores or corner stores for that matter. That said the rumor is that Facebook is going to be a couple blocks away hopefully in Fulton West http://www.sterlingbay.com/portfolio...ty/fulton-west . And GlassDoor will for sure be in that building. But I think as a new residential property that block is like the wild west. As cool as it may be to see that be built I'd be skeptical that leasing it will be an easy task.

Umm, Ogden only runs through the West Side and parts of Near North. A better analogy for a possible South/SW side Milwaukee Ave would be Archer Ave, but all the auto uses on the street makes it more challenging.

RENDER-ing

I get the whole grammar Nazis suck thing, but it's like calling a drawing a draw... Or "I'm so good at draw buildings"...

Just paved the parking lot and rehabbed an old kind-of-cool building on the NW corner of the lot. I assumed the parking was for Blue Plate Catering after they move in across the street.

And who called the Ashland Green/Pink Line stop sketchy?

Does anyone know what's being built directly in front of the new Malcolm X College? A lot of activity there. Is it the Blackhawks training facility? Seems like two lots are being developed so I wasn't sure if it's just that.

If that's at Ogden, then yes.

My bad, I indeed was thinking about Archer Ave
