Some more big plans for Motor Row (via Chicagobusiness.com):
A former Related Midwest executive has picked up a property just west of McCormick Place with a plan to develop a boutique hotel on the site.
A venture led by Nick Anderson paid nearly $6.3 million last month for a property at 2328 S. Michigan Ave. in the heart of historic Motor Row, according to Cook County property records and people involved in the deal.
Anderson's real estate investment firm, Fern Hill, which he launched in 2018 after a decade at developer Related Midwest, bought the property from a venture of Chicago-based real estate firm JRG Capital Partners.
Details of the plan for the 30,415-square-foot parcel are unclear and Anderson couldn't be reached. But multiple people familiar with the firm's vision for the site confirmed its plan for a hotel. The Fern Hill website also promotes a "Motor Row Hotel" project that would "engage the community and encourage visitors to interact with other local businesses and entertainment venues."
The article goes on to say that the current land is a Burger King that has a lease through 2021. So we will see how this progresses, but more action in Motor Row to watch.
