Manufacturing innovation center mHub announced the $50 million redevelopment a century-old Near West Side factory building, with plans to relocate by fall
mHub is acquiring a three-story building at 240 N. Ashland Ave. on the Near West Side and will convert it into its new manufacturing innovation center.
“Once the casino was sited about a half block from us, the landlord really wasn’t interested in having mHub at the facility anymore, so we had to start looking,” said Haven Allen, CEO and co-founder of mHUB. “I imagine at some point, it will be a high rise.”Launched in 2017, mHub is a nonprofit technology innovation center focused on manufacturing. It set up shop in Motorola Mobility’s old space at 965 W. Chicago Ave.
The building later became a Cook Brothers furniture warehouse store and most recently served as a photo and video production office for Northbrook-based Crate & Barrel. It has been vacant since 2019.
