The Grand Lofts

It’s not too often we see suburban loft conversions, let alone the conversion of a building called the “technical marvel of its time.” JDL Development Corp, which is also working on 541 West Cornelia in Lake View, is turning a former Motorola manufacturing center in suburban Franklin Park into The Grand Lofts. The building, located at 9401 W Grand Ave, once saw the newest televisions, radios and phonographs of the day, and it had such luxurious features as an assembly line with air conditioning and piped-in music, an “executive car lift that delivered the president’s automobile directly to his office,” and a helicopter landing pad.

New amenities to the building include a business center, theatre room, party room, game room and club lounge. The one- and two-bedroom lofts have 850- 1,900 square feet. Prices start in the $170s and include parking. JDL is accepting reservations for the development.

  • Such helpful information—appreciate you putting this together!

    Just thought I’d add a quick note that could benefit hotel owners and travel brands. We recently launched a super easy-to-use smart tourism chatbot designed especially for hotel websites looking to boost bookings, guest satisfaction, and 24/7 support—on autopilot.

    It’s a lightweight plug-and-play hotel chatbot that installs in minutes—zero coding required. This AI assistant for hotels runs all day and night to capture booking leads, even connecting with Messenger.

    But here’s the best part: besides hotel and tourism, we also offer a full range of chatbot solutions that work beautifully on any website, in any industry, to drive sales in a simple, smart, and wonderful way—only $69 lifetime. No subscriptions. No tech headaches.

    Use it as a customer support assistant—and test it out instantly on our blog.

    With nearly 30 years of experience in business development, we built this tool to be one of the most conversion-friendly options available for small businesses.

    So if you’re ready to engage more guests, or just want a chatbot that works—we’d love for you to check it out.

    Let us know how it works for your business!
