Caisson work is now underway for 354 N Union Avenue, a 32-story residential tower planned for Fulton River District. Developed by Onni Group, the tower will replace a previously vacant lot bound by K2 apartments to the north, a Jewel-Osco parking lot to the east, the Union Pacific tracks to the south, and N Halsted Street to the west.

The development is set to yield 373 apartments and 143 accessory parking spaces. Most recently published planning documents provide some details regarding the amenities, which will include a small park off of the first floor, an outdoor pool and deck on the third floor, and an indoor amenity area also on the third floor. Residents will also have immediate access to the neighboring Jewel-Osco via a pedestrian bridge on the third level.
