This historic renovation is about reviving the century-old story of this building while also priming it for the future. We’ve created a gateway to the Near Southside that serves as a gathering place for both locals and travelers where the strength of the building is the aesthetic centerpiece. The gravitas of the Chicago Brick-adorned architecture is balanced by repurposed decor, art installations, and patterned elements that create a sense of home. Lofty ceilings and ample natural light provide a clear view of the historic structures lining the block, readily transporting visitors into an era of speakeasies, haberdasheries, and train travel. The large loading docks have been transformed into generous patio space, with large glass doors welcoming visitors to iconic eateries and innovative office space. Within the walls of the space, every turn reveals exposed brick, wood mezzanines, and historic fire doors, which act as jewelry inside each room.
