601 W Monroe

The proposed development is located in Chicago’s rapidly evolving West Loop office corridor ; it is located on the south side of Monroe Street between DesPlaines and Jefferson Streets on a site of approximately 63,000 square feet. The building design is proposed for Chicago’s rapidly evolving west Loop office corridor consists of a 38 story, 928,000 sf office building with an underground parking structure.

The building’s unique form derives from the need to transition from large trading floors at the base of the building to more conventional sized office floors towards the top. The strength of the sloped wall is reinforced by ‘folding’ the public park space to the south of the site up the south façade to form a series of ‘sky gardens’. Designed to be a signature form marking the west entry to the Loop, the building also strives to obtain a Platinum LEED rating, the highest level of certification sought for a commercial project in Chicago.
