Structured Development delivered New City in 2015 at 1457 North Halsted Street, boosting efforts to transform the Clybourn Corridor after the demolition of the last of the towers in the Cabrini-Green public housing complex in 2011. The complex features 199 apartments and 360,000 square feet of retail space.

The developer is now turning its attention to the three-acre Shops at Big Deahl nearby at Blackhawk and Kingsbury streets, which will have 150,000 square feet of retail and commercial space alongside a half-acre park. It recently signed Planet Granite to a 40,000-square-foot lease in that complex.

On Tuesday, the Structured Development announced it’s building a new 50,000-square-foot Menomonee Club community center at the Shops at Big Deahl. In exchange, the developer gets the club’s current property at 1535 North Dayton Street, where it plans to build a nine-story, 197-unit apartment building.
