In 2018, a grand vision of Related Midwest came to fruition. The 725 W. Randolph St. site in Chicago will be home to a 58-story mixed-use tower. This tower will include 370 apartments and a 165-room hotel. Rather than leaving this property as an eyesore until construction begins, they have taken it one step further. They have created a unique pop-up market from repurposed shipping containers for all to enjoy.
Related has labeled their market as Box Shops, composed of six 160-sf shops, one 320-sf shop, and a 40ft tall shipping container used for signage. From 10 AM to 9 PM every day of the week you can find merchants such as Taylor Street Soaps, RefuSHE, and High-End Junkie & Haymarket Pub & Brewery in this bustling market!
Shipping your container internationally? You will need a cargo-worthy container that has passed a survey inspection. Our network of IICL-certified inspectors can provide an independent survey inspection that ensures that your “shipper-owned container” is cargo worthy/seaworthy. They will provide a one-page inspection detailing any necessary repairs and will certify that your shipping container is structurally sound and good for international shipping .
They will apply a new CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) sticker showing that your container has passed. This sticker is good for 1 year. If your container needs repair, the certificate will be applied once the necessary repairs are made. For more information on shipping internationally Step-by-Step Guide to Shipping internationally
