The city would also require approval of a formal redevelopment plan, including a budget, economic disclosures and financing arrangements, site plans, timelines, phasing and other construction details, according to a city press release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis agreement establishes a strict timeline for the sale and a plan to redevelop the Old Main Post Office and turn it into an economic driver for the city of Chicago,\u201d Emanuel said in a prepared statement. \u201cThe sooner we conclude this process the sooner we can create thousands of jobs and generate economic opportunities for residents throughout Chicago, while restoring an iconic gateway to the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under the tentative settlement, the city would suspend its plan to acquire the building from IPDNA and the Request for Proposals (RFP) that was issued for its mixed-use redevelopment. If 601W doesn\u2019t meet the June 1 deadline, the city would immediately restart the RFP and acquisition process.<\/p>\n<p>David Reifman, Planning and Development Commissioner, acknowledged there were other major Chicago developers interested in responding to the RFP, but the city wants to give 601W a chance to meet the conditions outlined in the tentative settlement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe buyer appears to be an experienced and commercial property owner with the expertise and financial capacity to meet our goals for the building, so we\u2019re providing strict terms and conditions for a purchase to close in a timely fashion and a redevelopment plan that\u2019s satisfactory to the city to move forward,\u201d Emanuel said.<\/p>\n<p>IPDNA purchased the old Post Office complex in 2009 and announced a $1.5 billion mixed-use redevelopment plan three years ago but little work has been done at the site bounded by Van Buren, Canal and Harrison streets and the Chicago River. The city has issued more than 20 building code citations since 2012 for numerous structural, safety and hazardous conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In February<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/chicago-officials-may-use-eminent-domain-on-old-post-office\/\">,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/chicago-officials-may-use-eminent-domain-on-old-post-office\/\" target=\"_blank\">tired of waiting for IPDNA<\/a>, owned by British developer Bill Davies, to begin redevelopment of the site, the Emanuel administration notified Davies that it intended to issue a RFP for another company to take over the development. The city\u2019s Community Development Commission set a March 8 meeting to consider starting the eminent domain process and a RFP. The city had hoped to choose a qualified developer by summer.<\/p>\n<p>About a month later, IPDNA announced the property was to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/fingers-crossed-chicagos-old-main-post-office-is-sold\/\" target=\"_blank\">be sold to 601W<\/a>, a New York-based investment group which already owns several major assets in Chicago, including the Aon Center, Prudential Center, 600 W. Chicago, 111 W. Jackson, the Civic Opera Building and 180 N. LaSalle. A sale price was not disclosed but IPDNA noted in a prepared statement that a sale contract had been executed in mid-March after \u201clengthy and complex negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But city officials seemed to believe their plan to take the site by eminent domain and find a new developer spurred IPDNA to make a deal of its own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s announcement is a direct result of the city seeking control of the property,\u201d Alderman Danny Solis said in the city\u2019s news release. \u201cI\u2019m optimistic this agreement will help the post office achieve its modern potential with one or more uses that contribute to the vitality of the South Loop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Karasick, a 601W principal, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobusiness.com\/realestate\/20160412\/CRED03\/160419951\/emanuel-backs-off-in-old-post-office-fight#utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=ccb-rea\" target=\"_blank\">Crain\u2019s Chicago Business<\/a> that it planned to close on the purchase by June 1 and meet all the city\u2019s requirements. He likened the old Post Office property to the Starrett-Lehigh Building, a 2.3 million-square-foot industrial property on Manhattan\u2019s West Side that it bought in 1998 and turned into a successful office building before selling it in 2011 for $920 million.<\/p>\n<p>The iconic post office building was built in phases between 1921 and 1932 and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been vacant since the city\u2019s main post office relocated in 1995.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developer 601W Cos. has until June 1 to complete the acquisition of the iconic Windy City building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1068,"featured_media":1004141901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1491,21743,21782,21808,21783,13,21742,21747],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004141900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago","category-deals","category-development","category-featured","category-investment","category-midwest","category-latest","category-office"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
