With this and that other site a few blocks to the west (the Fifield project), it looks as if this part of town is getting poised for another round of investment. Good to see...

Just want to clarify that the Fifield site is not a few blocks to the west, but pretty much right across the street from this site -- 1801 Chicago and 1822-50 Chicago. I only point it out because this particular block may look VERY different in a few years time.
There's also work going on a bit east at a beautiful old building at 1620 W Chicago. It's in the process of being restored, with a pretty major restaurant space on the ground floor and offices above.
