Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture is the architect behind the 147-foot-tall edifice, which takes on a hybrid aesthetic to reflect the industrial appearance of the surrounding neighborhood while emphasizing its modernity. The lower eight floors are wrapped in red face brick, and include expansive loft-styled windows with dark metal trimming. The remaining four floors are set back to provide space for the amenity deck. A glass and aluminum glazing also rises along the rear of the building and fully envelopes these remaining four floors. According to a LinkedIn post by the exclusive broker, Madison Rose, 70 percent of the facade’s surface area is glazing, while the remaining 30 percent is masonry.

  1. The exclusion of adding windows on western side of the building which would have given tenets stiller views of the eastern skyline is a certain conformation the team is going to proceed with constructing the adjacent 6 story project that was outlined in the original plan.

    • Yes because Chicago is far beyond leaving an exposed blankwall for decades…

      This building looked much better when the boxed windows were smaller on the west elevation and the argyle glass accounted for nearly half of the facade. It appears they have completely abandoned it in favor of extra warehouse aesthetics. Ridiculous
