Target takeover of Lake View

The new Target Express store space at 3200 N Clark Street in Lake View is taking shape.

We walked by the the new Clark and Belmont development today to see a near finished building.  The Target colors confirm the new reality at a once diverse, if not sketchy, corner of Lake View that was home to the infamous "Punkin' Donuts".  90 residential units will bring a lot of people to spend $$$ in the neighborhood.

Checking in on Clark Street development in Lake View

The 3200 N Clark exterior seen today nears completion. The new eight story, 90 unit development has changed and modernized busy the corner of Clark and Belmont. A Target Express with Starbucks Coffee is scheduled to open in the building July 2017. Will there be a Starbucks across from a Starbucks?

Further north on Clark between Addison and Waveland we see the glassy new home offices of the Chicago Cubs taking form along with exterior plaza construction around Wrigley Field.  On the left of the photo construction has started on a new hotel replacing the infamous McDonald's / parking lot.
