Chicago Planning Approves Condominium Development of Three High-Rise Buildings at 1325 West Fulton
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a multi-phase condominium development at 1325 West Fulton, led by Chicago-based Sulo Development. The project spans an entire vacant block along West Fulton Street from North Elizabeth Street to North Ada Street. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and ParkFowler Plus, the three-tower development incorporates brick facades and modular elements to reflect the industrial character of Fulton Market.
The site will feature three high-rises, with two positioned at the corners and one at the center, separated by two public pocket parks to enhance pedestrian accessibility. The construction of the development will occur in two phases.
Phase 1 will include the eastern side of the site featuring a 29-story building reaching 438 feet (134 meters) with 80 condominiums and 195 parking spaces. A double-height lobby will front West Fulton Street and North Elizabeth Street, with parking accessed from an alley. The podium will include residential units screening the parking levels, topped by an amenity floor with a loggia. The tower will offer a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom units, ranging from approximately 2,400 square feet (223 square meters) to 4,500 square feet (418 square meters).
Phase 2 will introduce a 19-story tower standing 301 feet (92 meters) with 50 condominiums, sharing parking with Phase 1. Phase 3 will add a 39-story tower at 538 feet (164 meters) with 110 condominiums and 165 additional parking spaces. To meet affordability requirements, the developer will pay a US$13 million in-lieu fee under the Affordable Requirements Ordinance.
The developer is seeking rezoning from M2-3 to DX-7, with a Planned Development designation. An additional US$7.8 million will be contributed to the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund in exchange for a floor area ratio bonus of 4.5. With Plan Commission approval, the project now moves to the Committee on Zoning and City Council to recieve final approvals.
Groundbreaking is targeted for August 2026, with completion anticipated in 2028. Until future phases are constructed, the remaining site will feature a grass area and a temporary sales center at the western end of the site.
