27-Nov-24 – The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a substantial redevelopment of the historic building at 65 East Wacker Place, transitioning from office space to 252 rental apartments.

Located near the Carbide & Carbon Building, the 1928 high-rise, formerly known as the Millinery Mart, has adapted to market needs. With the lower two floors featuring a revamped lobby and preserved restaurant space, amenities will boast a fitness center, co-working spaces, and a recording studio.

Designed by Pappageorge Haymes Partners, the estimated $51 million project will include affordable units at various income tiers. The City Council is set to review the proposal next.
