1101 W Van Buren Reaches Second Floor in West Loop

Structural work has reached the second level for a new 21-story mixed-use building known as “Coppia,” located at 1101 W Van Buren Street. Developed by Pizzuti Development, this latest West Loop project will stand between two existing apartment buildings, replacing a previously vacant site. The new addition to the area will yield 298 apartment units and contain ground-floor retail.

Designed by Goettsch Partners, the high-rise will be clad in a glass curtain wall facade that wraps around the thin and rectangular massing. The exterior will be patterned with a zig-zag assembly of darker blue windows, along with light vertical strips of metal paneling. The building’s roofline will showcase two distinctive heights, while the first floor will be lined with exposed brick columns along Van Buren Street.
