The Rundown

1016 West Jackson is a proposed 25-story, 380-unit mixed-use residential tower at 1016 West Jackson Boulevard in Chicago's West Loop, designed by Eckenhoff Saunders Architects. The tower will rise 275 feet and include 76 affordable units (20%), 163 parking stalls, and a bike room. Permits were pending as of early 2026 with construction expected to begin in Q1 2025 — though the timeline has shifted.

The West Loop location on Jackson Boulevard offers Blue Line access at the UIC-Halsted stop and proximity to the Loop, Fulton Market, and the Near West Side. The building replaces an existing 5-story structure and commercial building on the site.

We will publish full ratings once the building opens.
