Construction of 220 North Ada continues trending upwards in the Fulton Market District. Concrete has topped out on the four-story podium at the north end of the site, so now crews from Clayco and Adjustable…
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.
Two residential construction projects in Chicago, 220 North Ada in Fulton Market and 400 Lake Shore in Streeterville, erected tower cranes on their respective job sites last week. The two new cranes mark the 10th and 11th to operate in the city in the month of May.
A tower crane base has sprouted at the 220 North Ada construction site in the West Loop. General contractor Clayco and concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction will soon erect the full crane. That means this 29-story, 308-unit apartment tower will be going vertical in no time.
