Episode description
In this episode, Cherise is joined by Jooyeol Oh, Principal at MG2 Architects in their Seattle Office. MG2 also has offices in Portland, Irvine, Minneapolis, Washington DC, New York, and Shanghai, China. They discuss the 6 Corners Lofts Project in Chicago, IL.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
Located in Chicago's Portage Park, the historic Sears building at 4714 W Irving Park Road has undergone a remarkable transformation. Originally an Art Deco department store and warehouse that opened its doors in 1938, it closed in 2018, marking the end of an era. However, thanks to the visionary efforts of MG2, in collaboration with Colliers Engineering & Design and clients Novak Construction, this iconic structure has been reborn as the 6 Corners Lofts—a dynamic mixed-use development combining retail and residential spaces.
