Topping-out ceremonies were held Wednesday, July 17 for 919 West Fulton, the 11-story office building under construction in the Fulton Market District. Less than 10 months after receiving their first permit to start foundation work, Skender and their concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete have reached as high as they’ll go.
One month after receiving a permit from the City of Chicago to complete construction, 220 North Ada progress has reached the underside of the fourth level. And on July 8, a permit for Phase 2 was issued for the project’s tower crane. That means once the concrete core has grown a little higher, concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete and GC Clayco will tie the crane into the core and insert a few crane sections into the “tower” segment for sufficient height.
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.
The concrete core is rising from the foundation at the University of Chicago’s state-of-the-art Cancer Center on its Hyde Park campus. The University and general contractor Turner Construction received a foundation permit on December 12 of last year. The “core and shell” permit issued May 9 of this year authorized them to build the core seen in the photos, which will rise nine stories in total, including one below grade.
Construction progress has reached the underside of the sixth floor at 919 W Fulton Market in the Fulton Market District. That’s where Fulton Street Companies is erecting an 11-story, 350,000-square-foot office building in Chicago’s Near West Side. Designed by Chicago architecture firm FitzGerald, 919 West Fulton will be adjoined to the neighboring six-story residential building being converted into office space, bringing the total square footage of the project to 530,000sf.
