J. Crew and SoulCycle Construction Watch – July, 2015
J. Crew and SoulCycle are coming up fast on Chicago\’s Southport Corridor. The plan at this point is for J. Crew to open towards the end of this year and SoulCycle early next year.
L3 Capital buys Mystic Celt
“The owner of the Mystic Celt bar sold its single-story building on Southport Avenue to a real estate investor that has redeveloped several properties on the Lakeview shopping avenue.”
As we wrote about in May, L3 Capital was in the process of buying Mystic Celt, and it was confirmed today by Crain’s Chicago Business.
“The owner of the Mystic Celt bar sold its single-story building on Southport Avenue to a real estate investor that has redeveloped several properties on the Lakeview shopping avenue.”
Confirmed: SoulCycle opening on Southport above J. Crew
As we reported a few weeks ago, SoulCycle will be opening above J. Crew on Southport at 3423 N. Southport. Confirmed by Crain’s Chicago Business:
“SoulCycle said it signed a lease to open a 4,000-square-foot spinning studio on Southport Avenue by early 2016. The New York-based company will open its third Chicago studio at 3423 N. Southport Ave., above a J. Crew clothing store in a two-story building being developed by Chicago-based L3 Capital.”
Look for SoulCycle Southport to open in the first quarter of 2016. What are your thoughts, neighbors?

Bitter Pops coming to 3345 N. Lincoln Avenue
Per Alderman Ameya Pawar’s Facebook post, Bitter Pops, a specialty beer and tap room is coming to 3345 N. Lincoln Avenue which is part of L3’s Lincoln Avenue Development. A community meeting will be scheduled soon, but it’s great to see retail activity happening in West Lakeview.
Have you seen the Lakeview Master Plan? Is it time for the proposed CVS extreme makeover?
The Lakeview Master Plan was created in 2011, and out of it we have been lucky enough to get great things like the Low Line Market, People Spots and the upcoming Lincoln/Southport and Wellington corner improvements (just to name a few). CVS was specifically listed as a candidate for a makeover (and every time it rains, the roof leaks and there are buckets all over the store to collect the water, so something has to get fixed).
What are your thoughts? Is it time for a CVS extreme makeover?

Retail Rumors: Could SoulCycle be coming to Southport?
So we know J. Crew is coming to 3243 N. Southport on the first level, and we also know NYC based SoulCycle is expanding into Chicago. Taking a look at the developers website, we noticed a “SoulCycle” logo towards the back of the building rendering:

Again, complete speculation at this point, but would you welcome SoulCycle to Southport?

Retail and Apartments coming to Southport, Lincoln and Wellington
From Crain’s Chicago Business, a mixed-use development is coming to the former Herdegen-Brieske Funeral Home with about 10 apartments and full retail on the first level.
“A venture led by Chicago-based developer Stonestreet Partners bought a former funeral home in Lakeview that it plans to redevelop into retail space and apartments. Stonestreet paid $3.8 million for the Herdegen-Brieske Funeral Home property at the northeast corner of Lincoln, Southport and Wellington avenues, a 12,500-square-foot building on 0.33 acres, according to a statement from Mid-America Real Estate, the Oakbrook Terrace brokerage that sold the property. Stonestreet CEO David Trandel said he aims to keep the brick building, which dates back to 1918, and find a retail or restaurant space to lease its street-level space. Trandel, who is teaming up on the project with Barrington apartment developer Rick Cavenaugh, also plans to redevelop the property with about 10 apartments. Mid-America Principal Paul Bryant and Vice President Andrew Becker represented the seller, the Herdegen family.”
And more from the Chicago Sun-Times, apartments will rent between $2,500 to $3,300 per month, and national retail tenants are eyeing the spot for it’s prime location.
