Historic Oxxford Building Transformation Enters Final Phase as West Loop Welcomes Luxury Residential Project

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Loop · February 8, 2026

The ambitious redevelopment at 1060 W. Van Buren Street is entering its final phase as construction continues on the mixed-use project that combines historic preservation with modern residential living. The development, which includes 325 residential units split between the existing historic building and a striking new 27-story tower, represents another milestone in West Loop's ongoing evolution.

The project, known locally as Oxxford Lofts, thoughtfully preserves the character of the historic building while introducing much-needed housing to the area. The development team has worked closely with neighborhood organizations to ensure the project enhances the community's character while providing diverse housing options. Of the 325 new residences, 65 units will be designated as affordable housing, demonstrating the developer's commitment to inclusive neighborhood growth.

Residents can expect to see significant progress on the construction site throughout February, with completion anticipated later this year. The project adds to West Loop's reputation as one of Chicago's most dynamic neighborhoods, seamlessly blending historic architecture with contemporary design. Community members interested in following the development's progress or learning about future leasing opportunities are encouraged to sign up for updates through the West Loop Community Organization's website.
