With mainly landscaping work now remaining, exterior construction has been completed for Onni‘s 33-story residential building dubbed Onni Fulton Market, located at 354 N Union Avenue in Fulton River District. At 410 feet in height, the Onni-developed tower will provide 373 new rental apartments to a rapidly growing cluster of high rises at the northwest corner of downtown.

Apartments come in a wide range of floor plan sizes, from 400-square-foot studios up to 1,600-square-foot penthouses. As far as amenities, the third level will contain the majority of the common areas, with various indoor spaces and an outdoor pool deck along the west end of the podium. This third level will also provide vehicular bridge access to Halsted Street. Meanwhile, the first level will be accompanied by a porte cochere on the east side and a small micro park on the west side (yet to be built out).

At its peak is a pointed glass parapet marking a departure from many of the flat roofs nearby.
