Wow - not sure how I missed this one. Very exciting stuff.....
So, who is the new owner of this parcel?? Hoping it's someone that can really come in and execute quickly....I'm not sure how you could miss with an infill like this in this type of dense neighborhood. I love how (after some earlier delays and slower-going projects), Mariano's is really being aggressive with their launch into the city....they've understood there's a huge untapped existing urban consumer demand for a product like theirs. From what I've seen of their stores thus far, it's definitely a more pleasant experience than a solid majority of competing options.
On the topic of Mariano's, has there been any recent news on their planned South Loop store at 16th and Clark?
