Caissons were permitted Friday to get construction started on the residential tower at 370 North Morgan in the Fulton Market District. This is the second permit issued for the property, with the tower crane permit coming through on the final day of January. The application was filed on July 29, 2024. Skender is the general contractor, with McHugh Concrete as the concrete contractor and operator of the tower crane.

Three additional permits remain pending in the Chicago Data Portal, all with application dates in September of last year. They address excavation for grade beams, stormwater management, and the permission to build the full tower.
The permits call for a 31story, 493-unit rental tower with parking for 191 cars and 300 bicycles. The first floor will include retail space, while the parking will be located on levels two through four of the podium. Vista Property Group is the developer, and Antunovich Associates is the architect of record.
