Situated on the North Branch of the Chicago River, these two residential towers blend history with contemporary living. Precast and poured-in-placed concrete emulate Chicago’s Art Deco past, while open floor plans recall the loft-style renovations of surrounding industrial buildings. Commonly referred to as “The Yellow Buildings” on the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s River Cruise, the rich colors evoke the colorful façades of waterfront housing in Copenhagen, Amsterdam and other European cities. Both buildings are set back 30 feet from the river to provide a Riverwalk that will ultimately connect the Loop with north side neighborhoods. Between the two buildings is a landscaped courtyard that meets the Riverwalk to create a place of urban activity. This public space is accentuated by residences at the lower floors and a public park to the south, which add to the livelihood on the street and at the water’s edge.
