1000M
Jahn
Reaching over 250m high, 1000M is set to be one of the tallest buildings of Chicago’s skyline. Designed by German architect Helmut Jahn, the development sits at the south end of the Historic Michigan Boulevard District. The building takes design cues from the proximate Grant Park; carefully shaped, the east and west facades are gently curved, whilst triangular planes at the north and south give the building an elegant trim.

The interior floorplan is simply organised. Ground floor residential lobbies lead to a common amenity level above the 439-bay garage. Mixed typologies of condominiums numbering 421 wind up to the 71st floor. One set of homes, named the ‘International Collection’ (pictured) take inspiration from luxury tower homes in Europe. Nearby cultural institutions include the Art Institute of Chicago, Field Museum and Soldier Field. Courtesy Millerhare

Essex on the Park
Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture
Essex on the Park is the first new building to be constructed on South Michigan Avenue’s landmark street wall since 1958. The historic district’s existing 12-block row of 1930s buildings motivated the architecture firm to design a building that would complement the older buildings and the architectural heritage of Chicago.

Rising 56 storeys, the mixed-use development takes full advantage of its location by the park, by bringing the outside in through its design. A light-filled winter garden (which includes an indoor pool, hot tub and lounge spaces kitted out with cabanas and fire pits) occupies three storeys. Residents of the 479 apartments also have access to a public restaurant with an outdoor terrace; rooftop observation deck; state-of-the-art fitness centre; clubroom; exhibition kitchen; bike storage, and indoor parking.

‘Chicago is the birthplace of American architecture,’ states Rafael Viñoly, the much-lauded Uruguayan architect behind NEMA Chicago. Inspired by Daniel Burnham’s urban plan for the city, this residential project is driven by Chicago’s history. Its minimalism and simplicity pays homage to classic and modern architecture of Chicago’s numerous cultural institutions. Courtesy Crescent Heights | Steelblue
