Construction has reached the ninth floor for 1454 W Randolph Street, an 11-story residential building by Marquette Properties. Located at the western edge of West Loop, the development will house a total of 242 apartments, as well as lobby and amenity space for residents. These apartments will comprise of studio, convertible, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, many of which will include connected balcony spaces. Prior to construction, the triangular parcel was occupied by a vacant lot and a pair of two-story masonry buildings, which underwent demolition late last year.

The planned amenity list includes a rooftop pool and deck area, a fitness center, an outdoor terrace on the second floor, and co-working spaces for residents. With Brininstool + Lynch as the project architect, the 135-foot-tall structure’s massing will involve two interconnected volumes atop a single podium. The exterior will be lined with a mix of metal, glass, and masonry, as well as the recessed private balconies to add further texture.

The project lies near a host of outdoor venues, such as the 13.5-acre Union Park across the street. To the east along Randolph Street is a collection of shopping and dining options that will likely become more abundant as the neighborhood continues to develop.

1454 W Randolph Street is being developed in tandem with a taller residential project at 1400 W Randolph Street, located just to the east across Ogden Avenue. Combined, these two new edifices will offer more than 500 new rental units, as well as 100 on- and off-site affordable units under the Affordable Requirement Ordinance. Power Construction is the general contractor behind the reportedly $64 million undertaking. A completion and opening are anticipated for early 2022.
