Since YIMBY’s last update, North Wells Capital’s 16-story mixed-use tower in River North has topped out. Located at 311 W Huron Street, the tower now stands 226 feet tall and will house a combination of office space throughout the majority of the floors and retail space at ground level. North Wells Capital has already secured Spins as the anchor tenant, which will occupy the top four office floors with an $88 million lease.

Every office floor will offer floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces, along with access to top-floor amenities such as a fitness center, lounge area, and rooftop deck. Additionally, an integrated garage providing 137 parking spaces will be located at the base of the tower.

Designed by NORR, the tower will showcase a glass and metal panel facade, a curved penthouse, and a kinetic wall along the podium made up of moving metal pieces that react to the wind. The main facade will feature dark metal framing the floor-to-ceiling glass panels.

Another garage monstrosity.
Why not bring the tower down to the street and eliminate the horrible screens
I love the flappers!! But they should have made them bigger. In Singapore the Marina Bay Sands mall entrance has a huge one and it’s astonishing to watch the wind dance across it all day. But this one is too thin to have that effect.
