The long-dormant Damen Silos, a Southwest Side fixture for more than a century, is set to be sold by the state for more than $6.5 million to an asphalt plant owner who’s been the target of numerous pollution claims by some McKinley Park residents.
Michael Tadin Jr. and his family, who operate multiple businesses under the name MAT, bid just over twice the minimum asking price for the more than 23-acre property near 29th Street and Damen Avenue along the Chicago River.
