## Resource

Five Hundred North Michigan is getting a massive urban makeover—transforming into 300+ apartments, including affordable units for those earning 40-80% of the area’s median income. Designed for young professionals, students, and hospital workers, the building will feature studios to two-bedrooms, rooftop decks, pools, gyms, and co-working spaces—all while preserving its historic facade and adding public art. Retail spots like Vans and Chick-fil-A will stay on the ground floors, with offices above, helping revitalize downtown Chicago’s heart.
