Retail listing recently came up for the Friedman tower on Clark. Says construction will begin September 2019 and it will have two hotels, a LeMeridien and an AC Hotel.

FYI 353 W Grand is slated to be almost same exact height as Kingsbury in the background here.

The same brand as the one a few blocks away at Rush & Ontario? I wonder if they plan on moving and vacating that one then. Regardless, great news and good to potentially get a good hotel like Le Meridien in Chicago.

^This project popped in my head last night for some reason so it's nice waking up to this news. I figured they'd be moving on this one sooner than later.

Great news!

I am doubting that AC Hotel will abandon that other space. It literally just became an AC Hotel about 2-3 years ago after an extensive renovation.

With the size of Chicago’s tourism market, it’s not inconceivable to have two of the same flag only a few blocks apart, is it?

LouisVanDerWright · #**15072** Posted **Jul 16, 2019, 3:35 PM**

Considering there's like seven Marriotts and ten Hyatts downtown, not at all out of the ordinary. One will just be called like "AC Marriott River North" and the other will be called maybe "AC Marriott Riverwalk".

Actually, they own 1K Fulton where Google is HQ, as well as Ace Hotel across the street. I'm curious if part of this has anything to do with the Google expansion?

1000 W Carroll (Carroll & between Morgan and Carpenter). Across from Google. Office use - 18 stories, 288 feet tall. 144 parking spaces, with retail.

345 N Morgan Street (Morgan & Carroll). Across the street from building above and diaganol from Google building. Office uses. 11 stories, 178 feet with 37 parking spaces. With retail.

Google eyeing another huge expansion in Fulton Market. These 2 buildings might be in the mix. Gotta say I kind of almost called this a few months ago

In addition, Glassdoor is expanding, signing the first 52,000 sf lease (2 floors) for 1375 W. Fulton.

On that note, it was just approved by DPD too:
