Final facade work can be seen at 609 W Randolph Street, where Vista Property Group has planned a new dual-building mixed-use development. The assemblage consists of a renovated five-story masonry building, connected to a new 15-story tower in West Loop Gate. The footprint of the tower portion was previously occupied by a vacant parking lot.

The 100,000 net square feet of programming will involve ground-level retail and offices on the upper floors. Office will have access to a grand 20-foot-tall lobby, floor-to-ceiling glazed windows and flexible floor layouts, and a range of amenities on the 15th floor. These amenities will offer a lounge space, meeting rooms, a fitness center with locker areas, and a north-facing terrace with views of Fulton Market and The Loop.

The tower design by Antunovich Associates involves a near-even mix of dark metal and face brick cladding. The large floor-to-ceiling windows take on a warehouse-inspired appearance with prominent metal muntins. Another notable design feature are a trio of V-shaped trusses. As of now, nearly all of the brick and paneling pieces have been installed, while roughly two-thirds of the windows are now in place. The truss pieces have yet to be implemented.
