CHICAGO — The Tile Shop, a specialty retailer of manufactured and natural stone tiles, will open a new 13,000-square-foot retail store along the Clybourn Corridor in downtown Chicago. The new location, the ninth retail store for The Tile Shop in the Chicago area, will feature up to 2,000 products and be located in Blackhawk on Halsted, a mixed-use property located at 1460 N. Halsted St. Blackhawk on Halsted is a 225,000-square-foot property featuring healthcare businesses such as Town and Country Pediatrics and Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The property is home to The British School of Chicago, a private school with 750 students, and the only REI retail store in the city of Chicago. The Tile Shop has partnered with Structured Development, the developer of Blackhawk on Halsted, to develop the new store on the ground floor of the mixed-use development. The new Lincoln Park Tile Shop location is expected to open in mid-February 2014. Construction on the space will begin in December. The project will be led by general contractor Power Construction and architecture firm Valerio Dewalt Train Associates.
