The design by Goettsch Partners features a high-rise with a glass curtain wall facade covering the slender and rectangular form of the building. The exterior includes a pattern of darker blue windows and light vertical metal panels. The roofline will have two different heights, and the ground level will include brick columns along Van Buren Street.

The building will offer 82 on-site parking spaces. It is also located near several public transit options. The CTA Blue Line’s Racine station is a four-minute walk to the west, and bus stops for Routes 7, 8, 20, 60, and 126 are also within walking distance.

What this area seriously needs is a massive highway cap over 290. A green beltway or some grid restoration would do the West Side wonders. “Sink” the blue line and give it proper stations not choked up in exhaust during all hours of the day.
Couldn’t agree more, the highways don’t do any of the bordering neighborhoods any favors.
💯
I’m all for a highway cap over 290 (at least for the number of blocks as seen in the pix) AND a cap over the Kennedy between the Loop and West Loop(this would be my first option)
this is 19 floors or 21 floors
