A Look Inside The Crosstown Concourse
A Look Inside The Crosstown Concourse
The Crosstown Concourse building is a unique piece of historic architecture, reinvented into a vertical urban village filled with art, shops, restaurants, apartments, and much, much more. You have to see this place for yourself—but here’s what to expect. But first, some fast facts.
What is the Concourse?
The Crosstown Concourse, formerly known as Sears Crosstown building, served as a distribution center for the Sears mail-order catalog from 1927 until 1993. It sat vacant until 2015, when the Crosstown Arts organization revitalized the Art Deco building into 1.1 million square foot mixed use space. Today, it’s home to Church Health Center, a YMCA, Crosstown High School, Crosstown Arts, apartments, restaurants, and businesses.
