The Wellington/Southport and Lincoln development looks to be back on track

After years of starting and stopping construction, along with rendering changes, it appears that the stalled mixed-use development has started the marketing process for obtaining new retailers. The rendering has greatly changed since 2017, and construction should be restarting soon.

From the leasing brochure:

“Newly renovated, magnificent Lake View retail space on the prominent CORNER of Southport, Wellington, and Lincoln Avenues. This property sits in the doorway of one of Chicago\’s busiest retail corridors. Retail spaces are 1,566 sf., 1,800 sf., 2,015 sf. or 3,581 sf. Office space on the 2nd floor is 6,600 sf and divisible to 2,600 sf. Ideal uses include retail, restaurant, service retail, salon, school, daycare, co-working, medical etc. Steps from the Wellington and Diversey Brown/Purple line platforms. Be a part of the incredible revitalization of the Lincoln and Southport intersection which has seen an explosion in new businesses and property development.”
