The project will include the following:

 

 - 289 residential units

 - 25,000 square feet of flagship retail space

 - 280-key hotel that will be purchased by citizenM upon completion

 

Newsbug states that Sterling Bay has assembled a best-in-class team to lead development at 300 North Michigan Avenue which is located between the City's Riverwalk and Millennium Park. Chicago based general contractor Linn-Mathes will be in charge of the construction process which is scheduled to begin in August. bKL Architecture will serve as lead architect.

 

"This development will serve as a striking new addition to Chicago's Michigan Avenue. We are extremely proud that financing has successfully crossed the finish line despite the pandemic. Our ability to originate multiple loans from industry-leading lenders - as well as from a diverse group of individual investors - at a time when capital is at a premium is a testament to our team's excellent track record for success in commercial property development."

CEO of Sterling Bay | Andy Gloor
