History
editThe building's site previously held a parking lot owned by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.[1] The Archdiocese began seeking a development partner to build a structure on the site through real estate-focused investment bank Eastdil in 2016.[2] The development was approved by the Chicago Plan Commission in 2018.[3] The building topped out in 2021.[4]
In April 2019, the developer JDL announced that the project name was changed from "One Chicago Square" to "One Chicago" to better connect the property to its address of 1 West Chicago Avenue.[5]
Design
editGoettsch Partners and Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture designed the buildings.[6] The complex contains two towers connected by a central podium.[7] When completed, the taller of the two towers was to be the eighth-tallest structure in Chicago with an anticipated 78 stories,[8] although a final height was determined and a spire may have been added to the design.[9]
Usage
edit
The project is a mixed-use development, though primarily residential, with 812 residential units.[10]
Planned retail tenants for the podium of the two towers include a Whole Foods Market and Life Time luxury athletic resort, as well as an upscale restaurant and an event center catered toward receptions for weddings at Holy Name Cathedral.[11]
The building contains 735 apartments, 77 condominiums, 55,000 sq ft of office space, 188,000 sq ft of retail space, and a Life Time Fitness center.[12]
