Facade installation is now wrapping up for The Reed at Southbank, a 41-story residential building located at 234 W Polk Street in South Loop. Developed by Lendlease, the 447-foot tower is part of the larger four-building masterplan known as “Southbank”, which was split off from CMK’s planned Riverline development to the south. The Southbank plans also include an extended Riverwalk and a small urban park at its center.
