Co-Op Grocer Takes Space at CTA’s Rebuilt Wilson Station
The Chicago Transit Authority has approved an agreement to bring Chicago Market, a grocery co-op and community space, to the newly-restored Gerber Building at the Wilson Red Line Station, which recently underwent $203 million in reconstruction. The new market’s initial lease runs for 10 years with two five-year renewal options; buildout on the empty space is expected to take about 18 months.
“We’ve been working with the Uptown community on the Wilson project for years, and they have been clear that they wanted a locally-owned, unique business to be a part of the Wilson station,” said CTA president Dorval R. Carter Jr.
Alderman James Cappleman, who represents the Uptown Historic District, commented, “We have seen significant new development in our community, including several new businesses and new jobs being created, as a result of the investment by Mayor Emanuel and the CTA in the Wilson Station.”
