Core and Superstructure Continue to Rise at West Loop’s 166 N Aberdeen Street

Just north of the Randolph & Aberdeen intersection in West Loop, Greystar Development’s 166 N Aberdeen Street can be seen rising past the second floor. The 21-story project involves a mixed-use package of ground-level retail and 224 total apartment dwellings. Greystar purchased this parcel, a former sausage factory, for $6 million from MCZ Development.

Of the on-site apartments, 24 will be designated as affordable under ARO guidelines, while another 24 will be situated off site. Greystar will also donate an additional $1.87 million to the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund.

The design by Solomon Cordwell Buenz includes a mix of floor-to-ceiling glass, copper-colored painted metal, and brick. The underlying shape of the building includes a carved-in amenity terrace on the 14th floor, as well as columns of recessed metal balconies.
