The crowning parapet is beginning to take shape at 354 N Union Avenue, a 33-story residential development in Fulton River District. The 410-foot-tall tower recently claimed dominance as one of the tallest structures in the Fulton Market vicinity, having surpassed the neighboring K2 Apartments’ 366-foot rooftop earlier this spring.

Developer Onni has planned for a total of 373 apartment residences, scaling from 400-square-foot studios up through 1,600-square-foot penthouses. The base of the building is comprised of a two-story parking podium containing 145 total spaces and a bike room for 116 bikes. Anchoring the podium are both a porte cochere and a planned urban micro park situated on the ground level. The third level will connect the elevated Halsted Street on the west edge of the podium to the main parking garage entrance. This floor will also contain an expansive outdoor pool deck and attached indoor amenities.

The obelisk-like design by Pappageorge Haymes is clad in a glass window wall system with white metal accents, exposed concrete columns, and inset balconies. These outer walls culminate in a crystalline parapet that reaches its maximum height at the southwest corner.
