Retail Rumors: Is J. Crew Finally Coming to Southport?

Update the week of January 26: J. Crew is signing their lease this week.

After years of rumors it is almost all but confirmed that J. Crew is coming to 3423-25 N. Southport Avenue.  Construction should start in early 2015 and should take about a year to complete the new construction space.

J. Crew was originally speculated to open in the now EVEREVE location, but the storefront was not large enough for a typical J. Crew store.  It has been reported that they have been looking at Southport \”for years\”.  A formal announcement should happen by the end of the year.

Now onto that West Elm Market rumor that’s been circulating for quite some time now!?!?

Corridor Brewery and Provisions coming to 3446 N. Southport Avenue

We now know what is going next to Lou & Grey at 3446 N. Southport, an L3 new development. Corridor Brewery and Provisions, a brewery and restaurant from Dryhop Brewers will be taking over the new space.  Look for a summer 2015 opening on the ‘Port!

From The Chicago Tribune:

“While DryHop can be loosely defined as a gastropub with hop-focused beers (think: decadent cheeseburger alongside an India pale ale), Shuff described Corridor as “an American farmhouse craft brewery.” That means sandwiches and flatbreads fired in a clay hearth oven paired with Belgian-inspired beer that feature contemporary American twists.

A provisional beer list included Melon Basil Biere de Garde (“pureed cantaloupe and honeydew melon boost this take on the French celebration ale”), Dry Hopped Kettle Sour, (“house lacto wort is blended with Belgian Pale wort to create this tart citrus kettle sour”), Belgian Chocolate Stout (“American stout with Belgian chocolate and French pressed coffee”) and Lemongrass and Ginger Saison (“Thai and Vietnamese flavors add to the classic Belgian farmhouse ale”). DryHop head brewer Brant Dubovick will have the same role at Corridor.”

Specs on the new space include the following:

  • 3,000 square feet
  • 18-ft. bow truss ceilings
  • Stacked fermenters and brite tanks
  • 90 seats
  • Open air storefront
  • Post-opening plan will be to open a patio with about 25 additional seats

RETAIL RETAIL RETAIL! L3 constructing several more retail buildings on Southport

First up, we have the former Homemade Pizza Co. building coming down next to Teavana making way for a two-story retail development.

 
Up next, we have a new construction building coming in that replaces Cerato Boutique and Suvana Chiropractor next to Crosby’s Kitchen. 
 
Both are L3 properties, and they continue  to bring high-end retail into the area. Each building seems to have 6000-8000 square feet of space available.
