Coming Full Circle
Still, the South Loop is waiting for a retail boom, and that’s why many people are keeping an eye on Centrum Properties’ new mega-development, the lofts at Roosevelt Collection, located near the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Clark Street.
Once complete, Roosevelt Collection will boast 400,000 square feet of retail space, enough room to house a movie theater and as many as 40 stores and restaurants. Centrum principal Sol Barket says the development will become the South Loop’s “full lifestyle center,” the one-stop location for all of the neighborhood’s shopping and entertainment needs.
“The South Loop is one of the best strategically located neighborhoods in the city, what with the lake, the parks, the proximity to Soldier Field. But it lacks the sex appeal of the city’s great shopping districts,” Barket says.
“So we started out by thinking of all the parts of Chicago that we enjoy – the excitement of the restaurants on Rush Street, the charm of the boutiques in Lincoln Park, the allure of big retail on Michigan Avenue, and the entertainment of the movie theaters of Streeterville – and we sought out to put those things together into one environment.”
Centrum has kept the names of its retail partners close to the vest so far, but the names of Roosevelt Collections’ stores will emerge as the project approaches its grand opening in 2009. In the meantime, the company continues to market the development’s residences, 342 one- and two-bedroom homes priced from the $300s to the $650s.
Half of those homes are still for sale and will be ready for delivery in 2009

South Loop Rising
Retailing has not been as dynamic, but it has gained traction in the past few years as Target, Office Depot, DSW Shoes, and other big-box stores have landed on and around Roosevelt Road, a street that may eventually rival Clybourn on the North Side for shopping frenzy. The South Loop already has a Jewel store and a nearby Dominick’s, and a Whole Foods is on the way. A 12-acre parcel of land at Roosevelt and Wells, originally zoned for 20 million square feet of office space, has been recast as the Roosevelt Collection, which would include 16 movie screens and at least 40 new retail outlets, with another 1,000 residential units upstairs. The developer, Centrum Properties, broke ground for the project this past March.
