Looks like they kind of pulled a fast one but not in a bad way. Now open. It has a ton of items and also serves dim sum. Huge space with banquet. Private rooms that are common in China and the pictures look like many nicer private rooms in China marinabaychicago.com/menu

Chicago housing data from 1/1/25 - 10/28/26 New units permitted in - Multi family: 8516 units - SFH: 622 - Coach house: 38 - Net new units for up/down conversion: +2514 Total: 11,690 Chicago needs to build more, faster. But this idea of literally "they stopped building" is BS

FYI the multi family/sfh/coach house part is brand new building construction.

By the way, if you're using HUD's SOCDS to gather data about units permitted do yourself a favor and don't. The data is way off, at least for Chicago. No clue why. Use this instead: data.cityofchicago.org/Build…

The former Packing House building at 1113 W Randolph St in West Loop was sold in April for just under $7.3M. Today there were 2 permits submitted to renovate the 1st floor restaurant space. This space has sat vacant since 2014 when Packing House closed after just 6 months..

Okay I connected the dots - the tenant on the permit is the owner of Crab King Cajun Boil & Bar. He also owns Everest Asian Fusion in Downers Grove. So my guess is something like Crab King in Oak Lawn is going in here. crabkingoaklawn.com

Of note, that top increase zip code 60611 is Streeterville which covers Michigan Avenue (Mag Mile) north of the river. While 2019 to 2023 for 60611 zip code is just under inflation, 2022 to 2023 is just over double. Will be interesting to see what the 2024 numbers are

In total, the 606XX zip codes combined had a change of +$5.18B which was just a little above inflation. More interesting is that 25 zip codes had a decrease in the number of tax return files, but an increase in $$. 21 were higher than inflation and 8 had double digit % growth
