New housing, shopping eyed for South Loop

Developers have long-term goals for up to 2,000 new housing units, a shopping center and a 16-screen movie theater in the South Loop, according to insiders who have seen plans drafted for community groups.

The property runs northwest of Roosevelt and Clark, site of a Target store. The vacant parcels are divided among several interests, including Concord Homes, Amli Residential, Centrum Properties and the construction firm Walsh Group.
