Hubbard Street, Spin Partner on Scooter-Sharing Pilot

Hubbard Street Group (HSG) has partnered with scooter-sharing company Spin to establish a drop-off/pick-up point at The Field’s Lofts, HSG’s newly-built, 123-unit loft-style rental community at 4000 W. Diversey Ave. A subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, Spin is one of 10 companies participating in the city of Chicago’s four-month pilot program, running through Oct. 15.

“We wanted to be a pioneer and partner with Spin to locate scooters at The Field’s Lofts,” said HSG managing partner John McLinden. “The scooters are a great addition to our project in that they allow our residents to travel from their homes to the Blue Line and Logan Square in five minutes.

The Field’s Lofts saw it first move-ins in April, and is currently 50% leased. Housed in a portion of the former Marshall Field’s warehouse, the community offers junior one, one- and two-bedroom residences ranging from 542 to 1,330 square feet.
