Developer plans South Loop apartment tower

CMK Cos. is stepping into the downtown apartment boom with one leg still knee-deep in the condo market.

CMK is joining the herd of developers jumping into the hot downtown apartment market, attracted by rising occupancies and record rents. The question is whether the firm will be among those to secure a construction loan for its project, a $60-million, 25-story tower at 1333 S. Wabash Ave.
