DESCRIPTION
High profile location at the corner of historic South Michigan Avenue and
Roosevelt Road (1200 South), at the gateway to the booming South
Loop. This area is in the midst of very rapid development, accounting for
nearly 50% of all new condominium and townhouse sales in Chicago in
2005 & 2006. Over 6,000 residential units were recently completed,
including the Central Station and Dearborn Park planned communities,
and nearly 10,000 additional units are planned in the area in major
developments such as the new Roosevelt Collection, Prairie Station and
Riverside District developments.
It is located less than 1 mile from Chicago’s main downtown “Loop”
business district. The Museum Campus and Soldier Field are just 2
blocks to the east. Numerous new “big box” retail stores have opened
recently along Roosevelt Road to the west including Target, Jewel/Osco,
Dominick’s, Whole Foods, Home Depot, Best Buy, Walgreen’s, Linens N’
Things, Office Depot, DSW and many others. It is also less than a mile
from McCormick Place, the 2nd highest volume convention center in the
country.
This site has outstanding access to all major transportation modes,
including Lake Shore Drive, 1/8th mile to the east, the Dan Ryan
Expressway (I-90/94), less than 1 mile to the west, and only 2 blocks to
both elevated and subway train stations on Roosevelt Road and 2 blocks
to the South Shore Metra train line.
