235 Van Buren

235 Van Buren is far more than a new Chicago residential tower; it is an exercise in true urbanism – eminent, contextual and identifiably modern. Standing like a vanguard at the threshold of the city, 235 Van Buren enlivens the Chicago Loop skyline. Located at the edge of Chicago’s South Loop and central business district and just block’s from the Chicago River, Grant Park, Chicago Lakefront and the West Loop, its location is ideal. The design is an articulation of two masses, one providing a professional presence at street level, while the other pronounces entrance to the residences. Each mass is different; an all-glass façade to the south assimilates into the office towers behind it, while the cantilevered balconies framed in a concrete ribbon on the north identify it as a place of residence.
