The final facade pieces are being installed for the 225 N Elizabeth Street project in Fulton Market, a collaboration between Sterling Bay and Ascentris. The 28-story mixed-use building, also known as ‘The Elizabeth’ and located at the corner of Fulton and Elizabeth Streets, now stands at its maximum height of 314 feet.

Sterling Bay is getting itself involved in all these ugly ass buildings – Way to go – Your contribution to our city’s architecture is something to be desired.
This feels very classic Chicago to me. It honors the legacy of Mies Van Der Rohe.
I like the minimal aesthetic beauty of this contemporary building. When will floorplans be published? Please inform. Thanks.
I can see that the apartment complex is currently leasing apartments, and I found their website through Sterling Bay’s website.
Unremarkable construction but not any worse than anything else being constructed across the country… Aesthetics has taken a back seat to speculation and I can’t imagine any kind of improvement so long as this is the primary concern of developers
