Fulton Market, Chicago, IL – Jun 1, 2022DAC Developments, Melrose Ascension Capital (MAC), and Focus are moving forward with a partnership to construct a 19-story, 287-unit mixed-use residential building in Fulton Market, Chicago’s hottest submarket
1217 Washington will be a Class-A, 19-story, mixed-use development strategically located in the Southwest corner of Fulton Market. The project will feature 287 residential units and approximately 3,000 square feet of retail. The future community benefits from its proximity to the cultural center of Fulton Market, along Randolph and Lake Streets, as well as the public transit lines which serve the rest of the Chicago CBD and beyond. A mere two blocks from the hustle of Fulton and Randolph streets, future tenants will enjoy the proximity without the crowds and traffic that come with the booming neighborhood.
The mixed-use building will offer ground-floor retail and a mix of studio, convertible, and 1-bed units ranging in size from 430-804 SF. The units at 1217 will offer all the luxury comforts which define the Fulton Market neighborhood including 9-foot ceilings, quartz counters, spacious walk-in closets, and more. 1217 is further set apart by a best-in-class amenity package which includes a rooftop deck with pool and grill stations, a spa with hot tub, steam room, and sauna, and a fitness center with yoga and spin rooms, private co-working spaces, and a dog run.
The 3,000 SF of commercial space at the base of the building will be home to a future retailer or coffee shop, creating added value for future tenants.
Prominent architecture firm Pappageorge and Haymes takes the lead on design at 1217. Though the tower will have a modern aesthetic, the 4-story concrete podium will reflect the contemporary design of Washington Boulevard with a blend of brick and metal materials on the facade. The 286,232 GSF tower will be enclosed in glass from floors 5 through 19. The top most floors will be set back to allow for the amenity deck, complete with iconic views of Chicago’s skyline. . Teams plan to start construction this fall, with a scheduled delivery in the first half of 2024. Focus will also act as the general contractor on the project
