Summit Design + Build Completes the Construction of 905 W. Fulton
Summit Design + Build, LLC recently completed work at 905 W. Fulton Market. Located at the corner of North Peoria Street and West Fulton Market Street, the adaptive reuse project totals 108,650 square feet of loft office, restaurant and retail space and is the latest addition to the Fulton Market District which has been a hotbed for development in recent years.
Four buildings located between 216-232 N. Peoria Street were purchased and rezoned in 2016 by New York-based developer Thor Equities to make up what would become the new 905 W. Fulton. The largest of the four buildings, 216 N. Peoria, dated back to 1894 with its immediate neighbor to the north, 226 N. Peoria, dating back to 1916. Both were originally home to the Chicago Butchers and Packing Co. All four buildings had sat vacant prior to the start of the project.

Four buildings located between 216-232 N. Peoria Street were purchased and rezoned in 2016 by New York-based developer Thor Equities to make up what would become the new 905 W. Fulton. The largest of the four buildings, 216 N. Peoria, dated back to 1894 with its immediate neighbor to the north, 226 N. Peoria, dating back to 1916. Both were originally home to the Chicago Butchers and Packing Co. All four buildings had sat vacant prior to the start of the project.
Both buildings on the South half of the site were contributing buildings in the Fulton-Randolph Market Historic District, just two of 88 buildings designated by the City of Chicago that cannot be altered to change what makes them unique and worthy of preservation. Due to their historical significance, the buildings were kept, in-part, reconstructed, and tied back into the new building.
Work at 905 W. Fulton began with the full demolition of the two existing, single-story structures on the Northside of the site. These buildings were replaced by a new 5-story building with first floor retail and office space on the floors above. Work continued with the selective interior and structural demolition of the buildings on the south half of the site. Two-story additions were added to bring the total height to five stories including a roof terrace on each building.
Mondelez International, the global snack brand, will relocate their corporate headquarters to 905 W. Fulton Market and occupy all 77,100 square feet of office space.
