Development Update
MetraMarket update: The October 2009 edition of On the Bi-Level, Metra's monthly passenger newsletter, contains new information on Chicago French Market's vendors

The Sept 23 edition of Chicago Magazine's The Sun Also Rises provides a good update on plans for the former Powerhouse Space.

Some of you may recall a proposal a year or so ago to renovate the street level retail mall at Presidential Towers.  Delayed a number of months by the credit crisis, this project is back in action again.  We will post more specifics as they become available but here is a pdf (caution, 5mb file!) of the new plan.  Changes from the original proposal include two stories and the McDonalds expanding to be an anchor tenant.
