With cladding not far behind, structural work has now topped out for 1044 W Van Buren Street, an 18-story mixed-use high rise along the southern edge of West Loop. Previously a two-story masonry building, the site is being developed by Tandem, whose plans call for a total of 196 for-rent apartments atop a ground-level retail component.

KTGY is the design architect for the project while Antunovich Associates is the architect of record. The scheme is made up of a three-story brick podium and a rectangular tower above. The exterior of the tower will be a mix of brick, glass, and bronze painted metal. The private balconies that stick out from the structure will further add to its design.

This thing went up in record time. Holy cannoli
The Design Architect for 1044 W. Van Buren is the Chicago office of KTGY. The Architect of Record is Antunovich Associates.
While not yet completed, even now 1044 W. Van Buren represents yet another success for the extremely talented team at Tandem. It is a testament to what can be achieved through the implementation of a thoughtful, collaborative process, and good old-fashioned hard work.
Kudos to the entire team!
I must be missing something because this design seems average to me. I’m not seeing what was “achieved” by the architects other than non-offensive filler.
Weak!!!! Put up some real tall buildings. Oh wait who am I kidding we don’t have the capital for that and the private investors don’t want to put that many tall buildings in Chicago
