Podium construction is now giving way to tower construction for 160 North Morgan Street, a 30-story mixed-use tower in the Fulton Market District in Chicago, Chicago YIMBY reports. Planned by Sterling Bay and Ascentris, the high rise will be one of the tallest buildings west of the Kennedy Expressway and will include 282 rental apartments and two levels of retail within the first and second floors. The design by bKL Architecture features a rectangular massing that varies in height, culminating in a distinct offset crown. The south portion of the tower will hang over the podium, lined on its underside with a mosaic pattern and supported by two Y-shaped columns. The facade is made up of glass and dark metal glazing with a red brick podium. Amenities will include an outdoor deck on the fifth floor, a fitness center and lounge and a rooftop pool deck. There will be 89 on-site parking spaces in a podium garage, as well as a bike room with 153 slots. With a construction cost of US$82 million, Walsh Construction is general contractor. A completion date is targeted for late 2023.
