The various uses are harmonized while remaining distinct. Rising from a brick and granite base, the tower gradually lightens in mass, culminating in walls of glass. The horizontal expression of the floors is countered by continuous columns that stretch from sidewalk to sky. The apartments begin at the twelfth floor, one hundred fifty feet from the street. The views are expansive, taking in Lake Michigan, the Magnificent Mile, the Loop, River North, and the Gold Coast.
Every apartment has floor to ceiling glass, and either a large bay window or a balcony.
The tower is crowned with an amenities floor which includes a party room, fitness club and landscaped roof terrace. The cornice is highlighted with accent lighting, creating a distinct nighttime identity for the building. Challenges of this project include a tight, urban site and a limited project budget. Construction is phased to allow the Carpenter's Union, the building's office tenant, to remain in their existing building until their new offices are ready. The building also accommodates future office expansion.
