West Pullman to Welcome New 100-Key Hotel as City Council Approves $2.9 Million TIF Grant

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Pullman · November 28, 2025

West Pullman residents have reason to celebrate as City Council recently approved a $2.9 million Tax Increment Financing (TIF) grant to support a new hotel project at 11030 S. Doty Ave. East. The 100-key hotel, developed by Pullman Hotel Group LLC, will transform 2.6 acres of vacant land into a vibrant hospitality destination for visitors to the Pullman National Monument, Pullman Community Center, and the Pullman Park mixed-use campus.

The $30.9 million development represents a significant investment in Chicago's Far South Side, with the project expected to create 25 permanent jobs once completed. Funding will be provided through the North Pullman and Lake Calumet Area Industrial TIF district, helping to advance economic growth in an area that has seen increased tourism. This project complements other positive developments in the neighborhood, including the Red Line Extension which is set to begin construction in 2026, bringing a new station at Michigan Avenue in West Pullman with completion targeted for 2030.

Community members interested in learning more about the hotel development and other neighborhood improvements can participate in upcoming West Pullman Neighborhood Association meetings where representatives will discuss how these investments will strengthen the area's economic foundation and enhance quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
