311 W Huron Rises Quickly in River North

North Wells Capital’s 16-story mixed-use tower at 311 W Huron Street in River North is quickly rising and now clearly visible from a range of new vantage points. The tower will stand 226 feet tall and offer a blend of retail and office space. North Wells Capital secured Spins as the anchor tenant with an $88 million lease, allowing the building to commence construction. Spins will occupy the top four floors of the tower.

The tower, designed by NORR, will feature a glass and metal panel facade, with a curved penthouse, and a kinetic wall along the podium composed of moving metal pieces that respond to wind. The nearest transit is one block north at the Chicago station, where Brown and Purple Lines are available, with bus service for Route 37 accessible via a one-minute walk to Chicago & Franklin and Route 66 via a four-minute walk northeast.
