Given its proximity to various means of public transportation, the development will house 32 accessory parking spaces and 91 bike spaces. Residents, tenants, and shoppers will have immediate access to Route 36 at the adjacent corner of State & Division. Additional service within a five-minute walk consists of Routes 22, 70, and 156 to the west and Route 151 to the east. Those looking to board the CTA L will find the Red Line at Clark/Division station via a five-minute walk west. Purple and Brown Line trains can be accessed at Chicago station via an 18-minute walk southwest.

Situated just north the Rush and Division commercial area, the property lies central to a host of different retail and dining options. Various outdoor spaces also line the area, including Oak Street Beach and Washington Square Park both within walking distance.

Awful, just awful. The design, height, density, parking. Awful – all of it.
This is the scale neighborhoods like Wicker Park, Bronzeville and Logan Square should be building, not the Gold Coast. A location like this Should be 30 stories minimum.

I think this is great, fresh new construction, designed for a more peaceful lifestyle and rooms to breath!
