Also known as the McKinlock Building, the structure sits on the corner with South Wells Street and has suffered a similar fate as many surrounding buildings, with low office occupancy rates post-pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/209-W-Jackson-St-01-1024x672.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" class=\"size-large wp-image-91466\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Site context map of 209 W Jackson St via Google Maps<\/p>\n<p>Built in 1898, the 12-story building has maintained its original office use since opening and has undergone a few renovations since its completion, most recently in 2019. Reaching 185 feet in height, the structure contains 143,000 square feet of office space, including ground-floor commercial space. However, these days it is roughly 30 percent leased.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/209-W-Jackson-St-02-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-large wp-image-91465\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of 209 W Jackson St via Google Maps<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the building was acquired by New York-based Acres Capital, which has since partnered with Mavrek Development to undertake a $90 million conversion of most of the now-vacant floors. The project will involve extensive plumbing expansions, window replacements, and more in order to deliver roughly 180 residential units. It is one of 25 office to residential conversion ongoing downtown per the Department of Planning and Development.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/209-W-Jackson-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"size-large wp-image-91469\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">List of ongoing residential conversions via DPD<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first conversion for the duo, as they are working on a similar project across The Loop at the former Millinery Mart at <a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoyimby.com\/2024\/12\/zoning-approved-for-residential-conversion-of-65-e-wacker-place.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">65 East Wacker Place<\/a>.
