History

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. [2] The development was approved by the Chicago Plan Commission in 2018. [3] The building topped out in 2021. [4]

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. [5]

Design

Goettsch Partners and Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture designed the buildings. [6] The complex contains two towers connected by a central podium. [7] When completed, the taller of the two towers was to be the eighth-tallest structure in Chicago with an anticipated 78 stories, [8] although a final height was determined and a spire may have been added to the design. [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. [11]

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. [12]
