This week, YIMBY toured the construction site at 1400 S Wabash Avenue, which will give rise to a 30-story mixed-use high rise in South Loop. Developed by CMK Companies, the 305-foot-tall tower will add to South Loop’s growing skyline cluster, alongside the 788-foot-tall 1000M apartment building rising nearby.

The design by Pappageorge Haymes incorporates interlocking rectangular motifs, which extrude different amounts to provide a greater sense of depth to the facade. These rectangles elements are made up of a glass panel curtain wall framed by metal paneling.

  1. I know this is probably an annoyingly anal thing to point out, but it looks like your model is a block further south than where it should be. I only noticed in the first image because 15th Street goes through to Clark, but 14th doesn’t.
