One Chicago Hero Rendering

One Chicago (formerly One Chicago Square) is a skyscraper in the River North neighborhood of Chicago. It reaches 971ft and is among the tallest buildings in Chicago.

History

[edit]

The building's site previously held a parking lot owned by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.[1] The Archdiocese began seeking a development partner to build a structure on the site through real estate-focused investment bank Eastdil in 2016.[1] The development was approved by the Chicago Plan Commission in 2018.[2] The building topped out in 2021.[3]

In April 2019, the developer JDL announced that the project name was changed from "One Chicago Square" to "One Chicago" to better connect the property to its address of 1 West Chicago Avenue.[4]

Design

[edit]

Goettsch Partners and Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture designed the buildings.[5] The complex contains two towers connected by a central podium.[6] When completed, the taller of the two towers was to be the eighth-tallest structure in Chicago with an anticipated 78 stories,[7] although a final height was determined and a spire may have been added to the design.[8]

Usage

[edit]
One Chicago Square from One Superior Place

The project is a mixed-use development, though primarily residential, with 812 residential units.[9]

Planned retail tenants for the podium of the two towers include a Whole Foods Market and Life Time luxury athletic resort, as well as an upscale restaurant and an event center catered toward receptions for weddings at Holy Name Cathedral.[10]

The building contains 735 apartments, 77 condominiums, 55,000 sq ft of office space, 188,000 sq ft of retail space, and a Life Time Fitness center.[11]
