Elston Market - 2700 Elston Ave., Chicago, IL Consultants: Structural Engineer - Louis Shell Structures This existing 120,000 s.f. vacant steel cylinder factory was acquired with the intent to convert it to a year round city-market for Chicago similar to the great markets of Europe. Centrally located between strong residential Chicago communities within a historic Chicago manufacturing district and with a existing 3-story, football field long atrium, it proved to be a perfect venue for an airy year-round market. Our client hopes to attract local and national chains for a one-stop shop market.
