Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the 375-foot edifice will be clad in floor-to-ceiling windows, bronze metal paneling, and metal accents. One feature to note reuse of bricks from the previously occupying Cassidy Tire Building that was demolished last year.

McHugh Construction is the general contractor, having kicked off the construction last fall. The concrete structure is set to top out by this coming summer, and the glass enclosure completion is anticipated by year’s end. The tower’s lower 20 floors will open to residents in February 2024, with the remaining later in the spring. Substantial completion for the $139 million development is targeted for Summer 2024.

    Looking at the render and the concrete block short building along the track, can i assume that those will be fake windows?

  2. these colored panels on all these buildings lately look identical. Must have been a liquidation sale or something hah. The glass around the garage shows in the rendering but will that still be the case? They going to put glass up with a concrete wall behind it? so odd.

  3. Best new residential in the city outside of Fulton Market.

  4. The render does look like windows on a concrete block, but now that they’ve started to cover those lower levels, they are actually using brick across that entire front. Possibly the brick will have two tones, it is not clear yet. The brick is recovered from the original Cassidy Tire and warehouse building … nice touch to keep the original materials and colors. Also, the reddish color nicely complements Fulton House, which is immediately across Canal and is a historically designated building (100 years ago it was the Chicago Cold Storage building).
