Construction work is progressing at City Club Apartments MDA Phase II, a seven-story mixed-use development at 60 E Benton Place in The Loop. Located on a corner lot at the intersection of N Wabash Avenue and E Benton Place, the project is an expansion of the existing City Club Apartments, located adjacent to it at 63 E Lake Street. The building is designed by architect Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture and developed by City Club Apartments MDA II LLC. Norcon, Inc. is listed as the general contractor for the project.

Recent photos show the concrete structure and metal floor decking at full height, with metal stud framing filling in the wall cavities from floors two through five. The construction hoist rises on the northern edge of the west façade along Wabash Avenue. Photos show workers on the ground floor covering the sprinkler pipes, which may be in preparation for spraying the fireproofing material.
