Chicago's Biggest Development Filings This Week

7 building permits and development filings logged in Chicago between Oct 26, 2026 and Oct 30, 2026, with a combined stated value of $333.4M. The single largest is 1904 W Adams St, a new construction filing valued at $177.3M, filed by United Center Joint Venture.

Why it matters

Every filing below comes straight from Chicago Department of Buildings, the same public permit record behind The American Developer’s Chicago building permits data page. The filings name United Center Joint Venture, 1016 W Jackson Land Owner LLC, By The Hand Club For Kids, 320 South Canal Titleholder LLC and Chicago Hilton LLC and others as the applicant of record. A permit being filed or issued is a construction-stage marker, not an announcement: it means the paperwork a project needs before work can start has cleared the relevant building department.

What’s next

A filed or issued permit does not guarantee a project is built as filed; scope, unit counts and valuations can change before completion, and some permits cover interior or equipment work rather than new construction. The American Developer’s Chicago permits and filings archive tracks this market’s record as new filings land, and our guides cover how to read a permit, a filing or a zoning record once you have found it.
