And now in other big West Loop news - another high rise proposed with a new zoning application.
Introducing 800 W Lake St - a new 265 foot tall building on the corner of Halsted and Lake where Patty O'Fegan's, Publican Quality Bread, Northwestern Cutlery, and the surface parking lot next to that is. This is for ground floor eating/drinking establishments, Hotel, and Office uses. Again, this will also take up the surface parking lot here, but the 2 story building next to Green Street with Momotaro will remain. Across the street from that is the Hoxton Hotel (with Cabra, etc). This would mean 3 of the 4 corners of the Lake/Halsted intersection would be high rises (one of them an office building currently U/C). 0 parking spaces
Developer is North Park Ventures. Architect is GREC.

Hotel and office proposal adds to Fulton Market frenzy
North Park Ventures wants to develop a 19-story building at the corner of Lake and Halsted streets in the fast-changing neighborhood.

North Park's hotel vision adds to a fever pitch of developers betting there's a lot of Fulton Market hospitality demand on the way. Chicago architect Patrick FitzGerald publicly unveiled a plan this week for a 20-story, 200-room hotel on Lake Street just more than a block west of North Park's site.
Other developers in the past few months have floated proposals for nearly 500 hotel rooms in new buildings on Randolph and May streets in Fulton Market. There are only a handful of places to stay nearby today, including the 159-room Ace hotel and the recently opened 182-room Hoxton hotel. The 119-room Nobu hotel is slated to open later this year.
Office proposals have been just as popular. North Park's project would be across the street from a 750,000-square-foot office building that developer Shapack Partners is building at 167 N. Green St. More office projects totaling several million square feet are under construction or proposed elsewhere in the neighborhood.
