Some new apartments are poised to come to an old historic, but dilapidated building in the Sloop (via DNAinfo Chicago):

Developer Windy City RE hopes to renovate the Blue Star Auto Sales shop at 2001 S. State St. into a mixed-use building with 25 apartments and 20,500 square feet of retail space. 

Windy City RE bought the historic building that once housed the Cullerton Hotel, and the adjacent property at 2000 S. Wabash Ave., in November, and plans to renovate both into mixed-use buildings without adding any height or altering the current structures' footprints, principal Joshua Rubenstein said.
