Fulton Market Condo Project Takes a Height Cut

Fulton Marketis steadily becoming denser with the influx of office tower and residential projects popping up. In response to community pushback, developer Related Midwest is reducing the height off its proposed condo tower at 170 N. Peoria St., according to Crain’s Chicago Business. The building was initially pitched at 51 stories, but it was reduced to 43 stories this spring. Now, the project has been reduced even further to 36 stories.

"In working with the developer to further reduce the height to a more contextual level, while preserving the many benefits, the WCA firmly believes the benefits this project brings to the community together with its specific use far outweigh the concerns," West Central Association Chamber of Commerce President Armando Chacon said in a letter, according to the report.

Even though the building took two height cuts, it’ll still be the tallest building located in central Fulton Market.

Church-Building-Turned-Condos Development Gets Started 

St. Boniface Church at 1438 N. Chestnut St. in Noble Square is the subject of a $30 million condo conversion project, according to Block Club Chicago.

Developer Michael Skoulsky bought the church from the City of Chicago for $2.2 million in 2016, according to the report. The church, which dates back to the early 1900s, features Romanesque Revival architecture that will be preserved through the redevelopment.

“It’s been a real test of my endurance. It is something that I’ve been very passionate about. You can never recreate that structure. There are 9-foot solid brick walls in the church. The foundation is remarkable,” Skoulsky told Block Club.

The redevelopment project will create 17 condo units within the church and bring a separate 24-unit condo building to vacant land next to the church. The project could begin construction as early as this fall.
