Construction Commences on Lux MXU in Skokie
Construction is underway on 8000 North, a 12-story, 318,000-square-foot, mixed-use development on the northwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Oakton Street in Skokie, IL. The public-private development is expected to help revitalize downtown Skokie with the addition of 15,000 square feet of new retail space and 153 high-end apartments.
The mixed-use project, designed by Lucien Lagrange Studio, will offer a metropolitan living experience with ground-level retail, a courtyard entrance and numerous residential features including a top-floor amenity space and rooftop garden.
The project was championed by the Village of Skokie, which purchased the property and sought qualified developers and projects for approval. Upon selecting the 8000 North Plan of Development, the Village issued $9.8 million in general obligation bonds for the parking garage and agreed to sell the property. The bonds will be used to fund a six-story, 265-space attached parking garage to accompany the development, which will include 73 public parking spaces.
