Somnambulant Plans for 900 West Fulton Market Filed With City

Written By Editor on January 6, 2020

Moaning about the history of Fulton Market being erased by development has become as futile as trying to use the internet without Facebook tracking your every move, even if you don’t have a Facebook account.  With a new decade upon us, we have officially given up complaining about Chicago erasing this chapter of its history in favor of the boring, homogenized, could-be-anywhere-in-the-Midwest aesthetic that appeals to bankers, politicians, and Michigan Avenue tourists.

To that end, we merely note that plans for 900 West Fulton Market have been submitted to Chicago’s Committee on Zoning, Landmarks, and Building Standards.  Details and diagrams of which appear below.
