A caisson permit has been issued for the 12-story residential addition located at 140 N Ashland Avenue in Near West Side. This mixed-use development involves integrating the new building with an existing five-story masonry from the 1920s at the south end of the site. Marquette Companies is the developer behind the new mixed-use project planned for the site.

Rising 154 feet tall, the development will hold 210 dwelling units, with ground-floor retail and amenity space. The residential unit mix will include studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences. Select units will come with private balconies or terraces, and common areas will include a lounge and co-working space, as well as an indoor and outdoor amenity deck on the 12th floor.

Brininstool + Lynch is the architect for the project. As previously explained, the main massing consists of two distinct volumes atop a two-story podium. The building facade will be clad with fiber cement panels, using a uniform color scheme in complementary tones to echo the limestone of the existing building.
