Another new development is coming to the area surrounding the Gold Coast’s Viagra Triangle.
The tony ‘hood is not immune from the wave of redevelopment sweeping over the core of Chicago. Old restaurants are making way for new hotels. Venerable greystones are yielding to hyperluxe condo blocks. And the places that crooners once sang about have long since taken their bows.
Next on the chopping block: The retail building at 1200 North State Parkway, which is going residential.
The Loop’s Newscastle Limited has filed paperwork in the city to move forward with the project which would replace a group of former bars and retail spaces.
That’s not to say that there won’t be retail in the new place. Of course there will be. This is State and Division, one of the busiest corners in the Gold Coast. But up top there will now be nearly a hundred new homes as the plot nearly triples in size from three floors to 11.
