Vancouver-based developer Onni Group is behind the 452-foot-tall tower, which will include both ground-level retail and 356 apartment units across its 532,000 square feet of space. While issued permits listed the unit count as 356, project architect Brininstool + Lynch displays the figure at 365 on their website.

The building’s sixth floor podium rooftop will also include an expansive deck with a pool, hot tub, cabanas, fire pits, a bocce court, and grilling areas.

Brininstool + Lynch’s contemporary tower design consists of a rectangular massing encased in a glass and aluminum curtain wall. Semi-visible structural columns are fully uncovered as the top portion incorporates a cut out section for the penthouses.

That base is horrendous. I’m not sure it could get any worse.
Incredibly awful looking building. Copy and paste of OTP2. That glass was an awful choice. Onni get’s an F- on this one.
HORRIBLE. This mediocre architecture should not be allowed in downtown Chicago.
Lord please grant us some architects that will deliver us from these mediocrities!
The massive parking podium is really unfortunate.
Perfectly good infill, even the podium. All I ask is that when the Office Depot across the street gets redeveloped, we get something landmark-quality.
How do the rendering and the building look so different. Wow. Awful looking building.
That podium could land small planes.
