The Row, Fulton Market, a new mixed-use skyscraper at 164 N Peoria Street, has now opened to its first residents. Standing at 495 feet, this 43-story structure is the second skyscraper in the West Loop area, following the skyscraper at 727 W Madison Street, built in 2018. Developed by Related Midwest, the project has carried a price tag of approximately $200 million and includes 300 residential units, 20% of which are set as affordable housing. The building also houses a 146-vehicle garage, integrated into the podium.

Formerly a single-story industrial facility, the skyscraper now offers various-sized residential units ranging from 617 to 1,933 square feet. The units include convertible, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans with 9-foot-6-inch ceilings, wide windows, ample storage, and Ecobee smart thermostats. The Italian-designed kitchens feature quartz countertops, integrated Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, and Kohler fixtures. A portion of the units offer private terraces.

The exterior design, by Morris Adjmi Architects, pays homage to the Fulton Market District’s industrial past with a prominent dark metal facade. Large arched metal I-beams of varying dimensions form a distinctive feature, framing city views from many residences.

The Row’s architectural expression is a conversation between past and present, heritage and innovation,” said Morris Adjmi, FAIA, founder and principal of Morris Adjmi Architects. “We sought to create a contemporary design narrative that honors Chicago’s architectural legacy and Fulton Market’s industrial spirit while welcoming the neighborhood’s dynamic future.”

The project, aiming for Green Globes certification to signify its commitment to sustainability, is a collaboration between LR Contracting and Bowa Construction.

Welcoming the first residents to The Row is a historic and exciting day for BOWA Construction, and we look forward to continuing to build projects that will add to the Chicago skyline in the future.”

  1. I love this building soo much. Bravo guys!

  2. This building reminds me of the erstwhile faux nouveau Disney store on Michigan Ave. This is the fake-retro-girders-and-panels version: industrial dress-up for a dull, too-tall box. I see pastiche, not innovation. But it could be worse.
    The inside is much nicer (Standard Upscale Hotel, 2023 edition).
