FSC Breaks Ground at 919 W. Fulton Street in Chicago

Fulton Street Companies (FSC) recently celebrated the start of Chicago’s newest office development, 919 W. Fulton Market. The 409,000-square-foot building is the first new office development to break ground in the city in more than a year, with delivery expected in 2025.

Among the dignitaries joining FSC Founder and CEO Alex Najem at the event were Alderman Walter Burnett (27th Ward), SNK Capital’s Shanna Khan, Skender Vice President Alex Panici, and JDL CEO Jim Letchinger. Along with SNK Capital, financing for the project is being provided by Bank of the Ozarks and Manulife, with development services provided by FSC and Chicago-based JDL Development. Notable tenants include Gibsons Restaurant Group and Harrison Street Capital.

Additional partners on the project include Skender as the general contractor and FitzGerald Associates Architects as the Architect of Record. Morris Adjimi Architects provided the property’s initial design. Thornton Tomasetti ing provides structural engineering, and the project’s civil engineer is Eriksson.

“Today’s groundbreaking event is a huge win for the city. We have assembled the very best team to bring the newest building in Fulton Market to life.”
