Skyline Check: Pearl Fulton Market's Crane Comes Down — Your Neighborhood's Next Big Apartment Tower Is Almost Here
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Near West Side ·
Near West Side neighbors, look up — because the skyline just sent you a major signal. The towering construction crane that has dominated the view at 370 North Morgan Street is coming down, and that's very good news. Pearl Fulton Market, the striking 32-story residential tower rising in the heart of Fulton Market, has officially reached its final stretch of construction, with crews removing the tower portion of the site crane after the building topped out earlier this spring.
What does that mean for you? The heavy lifting is done. Work has now shifted to the slower, more detailed phase of facade and interior finishing — and it's moving fast. The glass curtain wall is already installed through the 24th floor, and brick cladding on the building's podium is complete or nearly so. When Pearl opens its doors, it will bring nearly 500 apartments to the neighborhood, adding a significant boost to Near West Side's growing housing supply right alongside the Green Line and all of Fulton Market's world-class dining and retail.
Developers describe Pearl as the "first step in a 1,500-unit master plan" for the site — meaning this is just the beginning of what's coming to that corner of the neighborhood. Neighbors can expect leasing updates and amenity announcements to start rolling out through late 2026 ahead of a 2027 opening. Keep your eyes on 370 N. Morgan Street and follow Pearl Fulton Market's channels for leasing news — your neighborhood's next great address is nearly ready!
