New apartments slated for the West Loop

Goodness, when’s the last time anyone announced a new West Loop development? Gazette Chicago reports today that Skokie-based F&F Realty plans to build a 514-unit apartment building with “hotel-style amenities” and 10,000 square feet of retail space at the site of the Crowne Plaza hotel parking lot at the intersection of Madison and Halsted streets.

FitzGerald Associates has been tapped to design the project, which will contain a mix of studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments. The $100 million project does not have funding and will need about 18 months to go through the permitting process, followed by another two to three years of construction, the story says.
