Rising Fast: Fulton Market's 494-Unit Tower at 370 N. Morgan Hits a Major Construction Milestone

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Near West Side · July 27, 2026

Near West Side neighbors, look up — your skyline just got a little busier, and that's very good news for the neighborhood. The ambitious residential tower at 370 North Morgan Street cleared a significant construction hurdle this past Friday, July 25th, when the project scored a pair of new permits allowing for the installation of a construction hoist and tie-ins for the second and third phases of its tower crane. For a project of this scale, that's a big deal — it means vertical momentum is officially picking up.

The 370 North Morgan tower, which broke ground back in June with the launch of caisson drilling, is set to deliver 494 apartments right in the heart of the Fulton Market District. That's nearly 500 new neighbors — and the energy, foot traffic, and community that comes with them — headed to one of Chicago's most exciting and fastest-evolving corridors. The project is being built by general contractor Skender, one of Chicago's most active construction firms.

With cranes climbing and permits flowing, the Near West Side's residential pipeline has never looked more promising. Swing by North Morgan Street this week and watch history being built — literally. Follow Socialhood for all the latest neighborhood updates as 370 North Morgan continues its rise!
