The design by Morris Adjmi Architects features a two-volume massing, with a podium section along W Fulton Market and a taller tower portion rising at the back of the site along N Racine Avenue. The lower massing is clad in brick and glass, while the tower portion is composed of a glass facade with exposed diagonal cross-bracing.

This is going to be such a great addition! May there be a canyon of buildings that stretch to Ashland (hopefully even Damen) one day.
Sculptural art, open air plazas, green allées, public mews, mixed use: such a great use of space!
Agreed! More like this and Chicago’s new developments would be more worthy of being truly world class. This is what’s possible when car parking isn’t the most prominent above ground use.
A building that nobody will miss – almost as if they had wanted it removed from the start.
This should provide a great street-level experience. Morris Adjmi is creating a solid portfolio in Fulton Market.
Unfortunately, they just sold the site and the plans are scrapped. Unfortunate to see. This has been happening a lot in Chicago lately.
