TREMENDOUS SELECTION JUMPING JACK School Shoes 25 OFF since the 1871 Chicago Fire, 30 percent of all office construction in the downtown area was completed during the period studied. "Development has taken place here because the market is strong," Masotti said, predicting "mega-investment dollars" will feed the building boom for the foreseeable future.

"The healthy level of activity in the Loop is heartening," said Mark K. Ludgin, the project's research director. "It is holding its own against challenges from the suburbs for the office market and from North Michigan (Avenue) for the retail and hotel trade." Rehabilitation played a major role in the downtown building boom, largely because of favorable tax legislation enacted in 1981, the rising cost of financing and the lower per square foot costs of rehabbed space, the study found The number of rehabilitation projects jumped from 11 in 198r to 23 in 1982. Of the downtown area's total construction investment, rehab increased from 10 percent in 1981 to 36 percent in 1982. The "downtown" area was defined in the study as being bounded by North Avenue, Roosevelt Road, Halsted Street and Lake Michigan, and includes six communities: the Loop, South Loop, Near North, River North; River West and Streeterville.

The fastest-growing of the six communities is the Loop, where $1.9 billion has been invested in 56 new or renovated buildings. EVANSTON (UPI) Chicago is enjoying an unprecedented $10 billion building boom that rivals new construction that followed the 1871 Chicago Fire, a new study released Wednesday shows. "An explosion of construction activity is changing the face and function of downtown," the study conducted by the Center for Urban Affairs and Policy Research at Northwestern University concluded. The study, coordinated by Northwestern Professor Louis H. Masotti, lists 160 public and private construction projects completed in the downtown area between 1979 and the end of 1984, plus an additional 45 buildings "in progress" and 50 more that have been proposed.

Projects completed or started in the six-year period represent an investment of $4.5 billion. But an even larger amount, some $5.6 billion, will be spent in the near future as other projects move from the drawing board into concrete. The "downtown renaissance" tends to counter claims that political turmoil since the 1976 death of Mayor Richard J. Daley has scared investors away from Chicago, Masotti said. "This study shows that despite all the political turmoil and uproar in the last six years, real estate people have gone about their business," Masotti said, noting that only New York Is experiencing a similar building boom.
