220 North Ada received a full building permit on June 12, allowing general contractor Clayco to take the new apartment tower to its full 29-story height. Working in tandem with concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction, the core is rising on site now, while a parking ramp is taking shape. As of Friday, crews have reached the underside of the second floor across most of the half-block-long site.
220 North Ada is a joint venture featuring developers Shapack Partners, CRG, and KMW Communities. Ground was broken back in March for the SOM-designed rental tower, located at the intersection of N Ada and W Fulton Market in the Fulton Market District.
