Foundation work has begun for a 15-story office tower located at 609 W Randolph Street in West Loop Gate. Planned by Vista Property Group, the 211-foot-tall building will offer 1,770 square feet of retail at ground level, with offices and amenity space on the above floors. The main tower is set to replace a former surface parking lot, while integrating an existing four-story masonry building adjacently east at 601 West Randolph Street.

Antunovich Associates is the project architect, whose design uses a mix of brick, metal paneling, and loft-inspired windows to provide a contemporary twist to the industrial aesthetic. A series of truss-like beams will also line the base to further punctuate the design.

Zoning was approved late last year to raise the development’s floor area ratio (FAR) from 7 to 11.5, with foundation and superstructure permits subsequently issued this past January. While full construction permits are still pending approval, a completion date is anticipated for early 2022, according to an article by the project’s general contractor Skender.
