A new 15-story office building has begun construction at 609 W. Randolph in Chicago’s West Loop Gate neighborhood.
The project will span over 100,000 sf and is being developed on a surface parking lot adjacent to an existing five-story building. The facade will keep in line with the neighborhood feel and consist primarily of masonry with complementary steel, metal panel, and exterior glazing. It will also include a granite base.
The building will be a four-minute walk from the Clinton CTA station and a three-minute walk from Ogilvie Transportation Center. Skender is building the project, which is being developed by Vista Property Group.
609 W. Randolph is designed to be WELL certified and exceed energy code. It is slated for completion in early 2022.
