Aberdeen Crossing is the name of the residential development coming to 1100 West Grand Avenue in West Town, and it is now under construction. Rebar cages have been rolled on the site in preparation for caisson work, and Stalworth Underground has a rig on site to move that caisson equipment around.
Aberdeen Crossing is a project from developer Wildwood Investments. They are delivering 99 units to the neighborhood across a seven-story building designed by bKL Architecture. The will be 1,700 square feet of ground-floor retail space and parking for 28 cars, plus storage space for 99 bicycles. Contemporary Concepts is the general contractor, with Adjustable Concrete Construction as the concrete contractor.
The project replaces a service station on the plat of land that includes Sterling Bay’s Grand Flag. A demolition permit for the former improvement was issued July 17 under the address of 540 North Aberdeen. Precision Excavation handled the razing.
Despite its modest seven-story height, Aberdeen Crossing will be adding a tower crane to Chicago’s construction skyline. A permit for that crane was issued on August 19. The caisson permit preceded that, with an issue date of August 10, while the full building permit came through on October 11. Wildwood Investments plans on welcoming their first tenants in 2025.

Ongoing safety hazards at Aberdeen Crossing (1100 W Grand Ave)…
Tons of nails and screws left in the shared alley. Even worse, sheet metal, construction debris, and water have fallen from upper floors while I was passing through—creating a real danger to people and property.
There is zero accountability or oversight on this site. Every time I ask to speak with a superintendent, I’m told he’s “not around,” and no one follows up. The alley is never properly cleaned, and the disregard for neighboring businesses is blatant.
This site needs immediate inspection and better management before someone gets seriously hurt.
