An Excellent Example of Adaptive Reuse

Chicago’s 16 on Center (16OC), who operates other Chicago music venues including Thalia Hall and Empty Bottle, joined forces with local developer Blue Star Properties, R2, and Sky Deck, to transform the historic site into a creative hub that includes performance venues.
