Brian Sanchez+FollowLoop’s State Street gets a new community hubA massive State Street building in the Loop just changed hands for only $2.8 million—less than a quarter of its last mortgage. The Downtown Islamic Center snapped up the long-vacant spot, planning to turn it into a vibrant space for Sunday school, adult classes, and interfaith events. With nearly 26% of State Street storefronts empty, this deal shows how local groups are stepping in where big retailers have left gaps. Could more community-focused projects help revive the Loop? What would you like to see fill these empty spaces? #RealEstate #ChicagoLoop #StateStreet00Share
