    Why Invest in Fulton Market?

    Fulton Market, located in Chicago's Near West Side, is one of the city's most dynamic and rapidly evolving neighborhoods. Once an industrial hub, this vibrant district has transformed into a premier live-work-play destination, attracting urban dwellers, innovative businesses, and visionary developers.

    Bounded by Grand Avenue to the north, Washington Street to the south, Halsted Street to the east, and Ogden Avenue to the west, Fulton Market serves as an extension of the Loop and West Loop. Its blend of historic charm and modern redevelopment has made it a hotspot for residential, office, mixed-use, retail, and hospitality growth.

    The neighborhood's strategic location provides unparalleled connectivity. It is easily accessible via major thoroughfares, CTA bus lines, and multiple "L" train stations, including the Morgan and Ashland stops on the Green and Pink Lines. Additionally, nearby Metra commuter rail stations enhance regional access, while proposed infrastructure projects like the West Town Metra station promise to further boost connectivity and growth potential.

    "Fulton Market has redefined urban living and working in Chicago," said Diana Peterson, CEO of AW Properties Global. "It's a neighborhood where history meets opportunity, offering an unparalleled mix of culture, innovation, and connectivity. For investors and developers, the possibilities here are endless."

    Once dominated by industrial warehouses, Fulton Market now features a cutting-edge mix of office, retail, mixed-use, and multifamily developments. Global leaders like Google and McDonald's have set up operations here, drawn by the area's unique energy and potential. With ongoing infrastructure improvements and a thriving cultural scene, Fulton Market continues to attract significant investment and interest.

    As Chicago's fastest-growing submarket for office buildings, Fulton Market injects new vitality into the city's Central Business District. The neighborhood accounts for 5.1% of the downtown office market, offering over 7.3 million square feet of redeveloped real estate, including office, retail, hotel, and residential properties. Groundbreaking projects like 919 W. Fulton, which will add 409,000 square feet of Class A office space, further reinforce Fulton Market's reputation as a hub for innovation, growth, and investment within Chicago's broader real estate landscape.
