Facade installation is approaching completion for One Six Six, a 21-story mixed-use tower at 166 N Aberdeen Street in Fulton Market District. At 224 feet in height, the Greystar-developed high rise will give way to 224 rental apartments atop ground-level retail. The site was formerly home to a complex of two-story masonry buildings that included Fabbri’s sausage factory.

Of the residences available, 24 will be designated as affordable one- to three-bedroom apartments. An additional 24 will be subsidized off site. In addition to the investment in the construction project, Greystar will also donate $1.87 million to the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund. This fund provides investments to businesses located in Chicago’s west, south, and southwest neighborhoods.

This construction is the sequel to its completed 11-story mixed-use building across Aberdeen Street at 171 N Aberdeen Street. In 2021, Greystar bought the second phase site from MCZ Development for $16.6 million.

The building, designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, will have angular cut-outs and a setback on the 14th floor to make room for an outdoor deck. The exterior will be made of bronze metal panels, floor-to-ceiling windows, and aluminum accents. There will also be groups of balconies set back from each face of the tower.

The new development will have a 70-vehicle garage for parking integrated into its podium base, as well as being in close proximity to multiple Divvy Bike stations, and bus service for Routes 8 and 20. Additionally, CTA Green and Pink Lines at Morgan station are only a five-minute walk away northeast.
Lendlease is fulfilling the role of general contractor and anticipates that the project will be completed in next year’s second quarter.
