West Loop Condo Project Wins Zoning Approval as Sales Gain Momentum

• A new five-story residential development has received zoning approval in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood.
• The project will replace an existing one-story commercial building with 16 luxury for-sale condominiums.
• Units are priced between $1.7 million and $4 million, with half already sold ahead of construction.

What Has Been Approved in the West Loop

Developers ZSD Corp and Corwin Partners have secured zoning approval for a new residential development in Chicago's West Loop. The project will rise at 1282 W. Washington Boulevard, positioned between North Ada Street and North Elizabeth Street near Union Park and the bustling Randolph Street corridor. The development will replace an existing one-story commercial building, which is already slated for demolition. With approvals now in place, the project can move forward toward construction and eventual delivery.

What the New Development Includes

Designed by SGW Architecture & Design, the building will stand five stories tall and reach approximately 60 feet in height. The ground floor will feature a residential lobby, mail room, two elevators, and a 32-space parking garage. Above, the development will contain 16 luxury condominium residences with spacious four- and five-bedroom floor plans. Several units will offer direct elevator access, while penthouse residences on the top floor will include private rooftop decks, adding an extra layer of exclusivity to the project.

What Buyers Can Expect From the Residences

The development is being marketed toward luxury buyers seeking larger homes within one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods. All residences will include private balconies, while residents will also have access to a shared rooftop deck offering views of the city skyline. Exterior renderings show a contemporary white-brick design that complements the surrounding West Loop streetscape. According to project marketing materials, condominium prices range from approximately $1.7 million to $4 million.

What This Means for the West Loop Market

The project's early sales activity highlights continued demand for high-end residential product in the West Loop. Developers report that roughly half of the units have already been sold despite construction not yet being completed. The neighborhood remains one of Chicago's most active residential markets, driven by its walkability, restaurant scene, proximity to downtown, and continued investment in new housing. A sales center is already open, and the development team is targeting unit deliveries in fall 2027.
