The Chicago Plan Commission on Thursday approved the construction of three new apartment complexes for the West Loop and Near Northwest Side, totaling up to 1,469 units, including 294 affordable units. All still need approvals from the full City Council. Developers Weldon Development Group and Mark Goodman & Associates won approval for the largest project, a two-tower complex with up to 794 units that will reshape a corner of Fulton Market, a former meatpacking, warehouse and industrial district. The developers originally wanted to create a 16-story life sciences tower on the site at 400 N.
