Onni Seeks OK for 2,186 Units, Hotel at 931 N. Halsted

Onni Group is asking the Chicago Plan Commission to approve nearly 2,200 more apartments and a hotel on its Goose Island riverfront land, stacking a second wave of density onto a site where the Vancouver-based developer’s first tower is already rising.

The proposal is a courtesy site plan presentation on the November 19, 2026 Plan Commission agenda, record id chicago-pc:2026-11:95825b4db6, filed under the applicant name Onni Halsted Street Chicago LLC. It covers Subareas B, C and D of the Waterway Residential-Business Planned Development No. 1522 at 931 N. Halsted St. in the 27th Ward. This is a proposal pending a vote, not an approval.

Why it matters

Onni already has one tower under construction at the address, a 464-unit, 46-story building with first occupancy expected around the end of 2028, under the same Halsted Pointe branding the company has used for its Goose Island land. The new filing is for additional subareas beyond that first building, which means Onni is lining up the next phases of the site rather than amending what is already under construction.

A 300-key hotel would be new to the project. Prior public coverage of Onni’s Goose Island plans has centered on apartment towers; a hotel component signals the developer is widening the program for the riverfront parcel, not just adding more of the same unit type.

The numbers

The agenda item proposes two mixed-use buildings with ground-floor commercial space. Subarea B is entitled for up to 1,134 dwelling units and Subarea C for up to 1,052 dwelling units, a combined 2,186 apartments. Subarea D would hold a hotel of up to 300 keys. The filing also includes a public riverwalk along the North Branch of the Chicago River and the North Branch Canal. The agenda record does not state a construction cost, and none is invented here.

What’s next

The Plan Commission is scheduled to take up the item at its November 19, 2026 hearing. Because this is a courtesy presentation rather than a final vote, commissioners could ask for changes to unit counts, massing or the riverwalk commitment before any approval. Onni’s first Goose Island tower keeps moving toward its 2028 occupancy target regardless of how the commission handles this later-phase filing.
