CHICAGO — CA Ventures has agreed to buy two State Street office buildings in Chicago and redevelop the properties into apartment units as part of a $141 million residential and retail project. Located at 202 and 220 S. State St. and currently owned by the federal government, the vacant buildings were made available through a request for proposals process. The plan calls for the 22-story Consumers Building, designed by Jenny, Mundie & Jensen and completed in 1913, to be rehabilitated as 270 micro-apartments. The 16-story Century Building, designed by Holabird & Roche and completed in 1915, would be rehabilitated and expanded as 159 studio and one-bedroom apartments. The current building at 212 S. State St. would be demolished, and a 15-story structure built in its place. CA Ventures’ proposal to acquire the buildings for $10.4 million involves a simultaneous, three-way transaction involving the General Services Administration (GSA) and the City of Chicago. The offer price and sale terms, expected to be finalized this summer, require review and approval by the GSA and Chicago City Council.
