CHICAGO — Thor Equities has acquired two properties in Chicago’s Fulton Market district for $36.1 million. The properties, 816-820 West Fulton Market and 216-226 North Peoria Street, together total more than 106,000 square feet. Thor plans to convert the historical buildings into prime retail and office properties. Once dominated by cold storage facilities and wholesale meat companies, Fulton Market is filled with restaurants, boutique hotels, residential buildings, art galleries and architectural and creative firms, along with major companies such as Google and Uber. The vacant warehouses on Peoria Street will be combined and expanded to accommodate a five-story mixed-use structure. The West Fulton Market properties will be renovated and repositioned.
