Summary
Mayor Bill McLeod said Bell Works Chicagoland celebrated west-side renovations, noted the East Wing is 97% occupied, named multiple new tenants and said land permits to Pulte Homes were issued for Bell Works townhomes while a 298-unit luxury apartment is under review.
Mayor Bill McLeod said renovations at Bell Works Chicagoland continued this year, including a ribbon-cutting for west-side renovations and earlier East Wing buildout that he said is 97% occupied. He said developers have seen demand tied to an anticipated additional 500,000 square feet of office space as part of the project.
McLeod named recent tenants of the East Wing, including Convergent (security systems integration), Identity (signage and branding), First Service Residential, Swing Loose (indoor golf simulator), Game Night Out and the Bell Market Food Hall. He said work started along Huntington Boulevard to prepare for the residential component of the Metroburb concept and that land-development permits were issued to Pulte Homes for townhomes; a 298-unit luxury apartment on the east side of the Bell Works campus is under review.
The mayor presented the Bell Works mix of office, retail and planned residential development as a locally driven redevelopment model. He did not provide specific timelines for the residential construction start beyond saying permits were issued and the apartment project was under review, nor did he cite detailed financing structures or unit pricing.
