Jonathan Splitt Architects has overseen the masonry design, with tan colored brick along the facade and dark metal trim window accents. The massing’s rear southwestern corner of the massing is cut along its corner to allow for improved vehicular access. The crowning rooftop deck will be clad in metal and glass paneling.

I like the tan brick seen in the concept art. This is another instance where they switched to an orange and the reality looks worse than the pictures
Though I am sure the interior is probably pretty nice, I can’t imagine a more bland building in a highly visible area.
First in well with Chicago’s tradition of vastly underutilizing land.
What a shame that the city allowed for such a mediocre building to be built in such a prime location. Chicago deserves better architecture!!
They left out literally every single architectural detail. Every time I pass by I want to cry at the “half built” apartment somehow topping out.
