Development Proposal
Representatives from developer Tucker Development, attorney DLA Piper, and architect OKW presented
their plans for the renovation of several properties and the construction of a proposed 19-story (+194 ft)
building on the site occupied by Quality Foods (900 W. Randolph). Located within the “Lake Street
Business and Service” area of the Fulton Market Innovation District Plan, the property is bounded by
Lake on the north, the westbound Randolph service road on the south, Sangamon on the west and
Peoria on the east. The proposed 19-story structure would require a zoning change from C1-1
(Neighborhood Commercial District) with a 1.2 FAR to C1-5, Residential-Business Planned
Development with 5.0 FAR.
Under the proposal, ten existing buildings along Sangamon and Randolph (nine of which are designated
as “historically contributing” in the Fulton-Randolph Historic District) would be rehabilitated for use as
retail (ground level and second story along Randolph) and office space (second floor on Sangamon and
third and fourth stories on Randolph).
The proposal includes the renovation of ten historically contributing buildings along Sangamon and Randolph.
Note: this image does not include the proposed 19-story (194 ft) building.
The 19-story building would be located along Peoria Street, between Pastorelli Food Products (901 W.
Lake) and the new Cruz Blanca/Leña Brava restaurant (900 W. Randolph). The existing historic buildings
on Lake, Sangamon, and Randolph would serve as a buffer between the larger building and the street
level. The building façade is proposed to be brick, concrete, and dark metal with a steel and glass
structure.
The building would be significantly taller than surrounding buildings – including proposed developments
just north of Lake Street and at 171 N. Green. The building would contain approximately 280 rental
units, varying from studio apartments to three-bedroom units. Parking (133 spaces for the entire 11
building development) would be located on the second and third levels, with ground floor retail.
