Lionheart Secures Rezoning for Long-Vacant Galewood Industrial Facility
Lionheart Capital will move forward with redeveloping the former White Cap Bottle Company facility in the West Side’s Galewood neighborhood, following the City Council’s approval of rezoning for the long-vacant property. In announcing the rezoning Friday, Miami-based Lionheart didn’t specify what the redeveloped property’s new uses will be.
“The foundations of this industrial building are solid, as it housed a successful, job creating local business for many decades,” said Allison Greenfield, Lionheart principal and chief development officer. “We look forward to restoring both the physical premises and the community function of this property. We want to make it a cornerstone in the revitalization of the neighborhood, the industrial corridor and the greater Chicago area at large.”
Best known for inventing vacuum-sealed bottle lids and twist-off bottle caps, White Cap operated at the 1819 N. Major Ave. facility from 1930 to 2002. Lionheart acquired the property in 2017.
