This was Mariano's until they were acquired. Now, it looks like Dom's (from Mariano's founder) is the next best hope. They opened a second store and will likely expand. FoxTrot is more of convenient store, but has some of this stuff and is a local company.

What about Pete's Fresh Market? It's a good quality store.

Ald. Reilly has filed a request to end the PD and downzone it to a DC-3. This is basically the final nail in the coffin

What does downzoning to to a DC-3 mean?

Can't say I'm overly disappointed. The real disappointment was when they scrapped the beautiful initial design.

As far as the Grocery conversation, if they ever open a Caputo's downtown that will be the final green flag for me to convince the wife to get a pied-a-terre within a few blocks of it, so my vote would be for Caputo's.

I hope that a super tall will be built here...

They have to go through the entire approval process again, community meetings, zoning commission etc.

I think something like a One Chicago type building would have greater success of getting built here plus having a large grocery store at the base would be amazing for the loop residents!

Chase should collaborate with someone who wants to build condos for a 1k+ mixed use tower. That would be killer here.

We need JDL to buy this parcel haha. They can get something built quickly!

Urbanize Chicago reporting that Reilly is proposing a downzoning of 130 Franklin to finally kill a dead horse so we can move on.

With the downtown plan to convert old office units to housing, maybe some other developer can acquire this and start the rezoning process to residential (is this possible?) now that the city has shown some appetite for more residential in the Loop area. And put in a grocery store too

I wanted to see this building built but I'll take this as a blessing in disguise. I hope whoever gets their hands on this doesn't blow an opportunity.

Someone close to JDL tell them about this vacant lot and the opportunity it affords. Like they can build another One Chicago here as an example.

Maybe not far fetched. They did pay $100m for the OCS site.
