Not quite in the Sloop, but still worth a mention...UIC plans to build a huge new research facility at the corner of Roosevelt and Halsted (via
Skyscrapge Page and
Curbed Chicago):
Another UIC surface lot will soon meet its maker. Over at Skyscraper Page, user Kippis has come through with a sole rendering of the new Advanced Chemical Technology Building (ACTB). The state-of-the-art research facility is slated for a vacant lot on Halsted just north of Roosevelt. It's designed to promote collaboration and innovation among scientists from various disciplines, including chemistry, biology, and physics. Sounds combustable! The new building will generate 300 jobs and cost $104M, with the state kicking in $64M. Groundbreaking is planned for mid-2013, and construction is expected to last 30 months.
Good stuff.
If this isn't in the South Loop, I'm not sure what is.

ReplyDeletego look up in MLS, it is the west loop.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the City of Chicago (https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/doit/supp_info/citywide_maps.html), the "community name" for this area is officially the "Near West Side" - and the "neighborhood" name is: "Little Italy/UIC". Now most of the newer real estate related maps show it as "University Village/UIC". I guess it's open to interpretation, but given that we have many friends who live in that immediate vicinity, I think "University Village" is now the most commonly accepted term.
ReplyDeleteYou people need to get a hobby. Sloopin is just posting info. My bet is most of you either got cut from your respective high school sports team or have daddy issues. The need to be so right is unhealthy.
