What's Next for Chicago's Fastest Growing Neighborhood

What You'll Learn From This Commercial Real Estate Event:

  • Development in Fulton Market continues apace despite a broader citywide slowdown- what accounts for this, and how can prospective partners stay ahead of the curve?
  • What’s behind the continued success of Fulton Market’s restaurant and hotel scene? What experiences are leading the way?
  • How will new tenats like Equinox and Trader Joes shape an already complex market?
  • What does the success of Fulton Market say about the potential for the West Loop and Chicago more broadly? What are the key markers of success?
  • What do new projects in office, multifamily and hospitality say about where Fulton Market is headed? What do the next five years look like?

 

How You'll Do More Business From Attending This Summit:

Though far from immune from a citywide development slowdown, projects in Fulton Market and the people behind them continue to set the standard for what constitutes a modern neighborhood and contemporary development environment. As plans are made and new high rises are proposed, and with the delivery of projects like 919 W Fulton and the arrival of tenants like Equinox and Trader Joes, it's clear the neighborhood isn't slowing down, and isn't content to live by any definition but its own.

This July, join Bisnow as we unpack all this and more, hearing from developer, builder, and broker alike as they take us through the past, present, and future of Fulton Market.
