While some parts of Chicago are adding residential towers which attract retailers to serve them, over the last decade the North/Clybourn area has done the opposite — experienced explosive retail growth that’s attracted residential projects. We can now add another one to the list.
901 Weed Street is proposed to be a 29-story, 407-unit residential building with ground floor retail and restaurant space. It’s situated across the street from the “SoNo” towers which by their conspicuousness have become landmarks in the mostly low-rise neighborhood.
The entire project actually includes two other two-story commercial buildings nearby. Since the tower will be joined to one of these low-rise buildings, it gets the Weed Street address even though it’s half a block south.
We’ll focus on the tower for this firehose:
