5-Story Mall Gets Construction Green Light from City

In case you missed this one last week, it appears like the new mall at Jefferson and Taylor is close to moving forward (via Curbed):

A new retail development is ready to make its way into the quickly developing South Loop neighborhood. A permit has just been issued allowing developers to start construction on a new five-story retail complex at 909 S. Jefferson Street. Unveiled earlier this year, the project is expected to deliver over 100,000-square-feet of commercial space along with two levels of below-grade parking with 209 spaces. However, the proposal presented earlier this year was for a four-story development while the permit indicates that the project being built will be a five-story complex.

Spring of 2017 seems optimistic, but we will see.

As you may recall we posted about this back in January of 2016.
