Area around Midway ready for retail takeoff - 65th & Cicero
The retail landscape near Midway Airport finally is starting to look up. A number of developments are breaking ground along Cicero Avenue, hoping to give people on the road to Chicago's No. 2 airport a reason to stay, shop or dine. The projects could change the Midway streetscape, which includes a plethora of shuttered buildings and vacant lots for sale along Cicero, for good. The catalyst may be Vib Chicago, an $8 million boutique hotel set to rise on the 1.1-acre site of a long-closed rental car facility at the southeast corner of Cicero and 65th Street, across from the Midway Hotel Center and just a few blocks south of the airport. The three-story, 74-room hotel is part of a new urban boutique offering from Best Western. The sale was a breakthrough for the dormant Midway market, said Fahim Lakhani, vice president of acquisitions at Chicago commercial real estate firm First Western Properties, which represented local hotel developer Amit Patel in the transaction. "The hotel project is benefiting from a property tax incentive, approved in March, which will save developers an estimated $466,000 over five years, the city said. Construction will be completed during the second half of 2017, according to Lakhani. Meanwhile, Lou Malnati's purchased a 16,000-square-foot former used car lot near the hotel development, with plans to open a 5,000-square-foot, full-service pizza restaurant by spring 2017. The chain adds about four locations a year, and had been scouting the Midway area for some time before settling on what it hopes will be a hot corner. The Vib already has spurred adjacent development. Lakhani sold the corner outlot to Panda Express, which is building a drive-through restaurant expected to open later this year. . Other major restaurant chains also are looking at nearby sites, Lakhani said. "The great part about this hotel is that it's going to be facing the street," Lakhani said. "The hotel complex that's already there is enclosed. You're not going to leave that complex necessarily to go out and visit these retailers. "Built on the site of a former Cracker Jack factory across the city border in Bedford Park, the Midway Hotel Center broke ground in 1988, with similarly high hopes for improving the neighborhood. The fenced 10-hotel complex - which last year added the Hyatt Place Chicago/Midway - has been much more of an island. The work outside Midway coincides with a $248 million renovation of the South Side airport. The plan includes more parking, a concessions upgrade and expansion, and a widening of the pedestrian bridge over Cicero Avenue to alleviate security line bottlenecks. Work on the project will begin next year and is expected to run through 2019, according to Chicago Department of Aviation spokesman Owen Kilmer.
