1) The currency exchange building at Chicago & La Salle has more conrete plans now. It will have a total of 36 units that will be rented by the bed, not by the unit. Total bed count would be 108. Co-living basically and they'd team up with NY based Common for it. Building at 7 stories tall. Total of 36 parking spaces with ground floor retail.

ALSO: The article above mentions 2 other sites on Chicago Ave that were recently pitched for new
2) 401 W Chicago Ave (& Sedgwick): Currently a surface parking lot. 9 story, 59 condo units proposed by LG. Alternate plans for a 93 unit building on the same site. 71 parking spaces with ground floor retail.

3) 757 N Hudson (Chicago & Hudson). Currently a vacant lot with proposal for a 9 story 133 unit building from LG. 37 parking spaces with ground floor retail

So LG in one block on Chicago Avenue is proposing 2 new buildings that would total between 192 and 226 units. 1st rendering above shows both buildings along Chicago Avenue. Massive improvement over what's there right now from ground floor perspective, though the overall design leaves a lot to be desired. More info:

Soil testing rig was at the lot at 300 W Huron a couple of weeks ago (the lot is behind my office). Previous plan was for condos and now it's office. Same developer will be filling in another couple of lots along Franklin with office.
