March 29, 2015 – How often does the train go by? So often, you won’t even notice it.

These are renderings of an eight-story office building and 22-story, 193-unit residence that Centrum Partners wants to build in the southwest corner of West Hubbard Street and North Wells Street in River North.

To fit into a space – currently a parking lot – bordered by curved L tracks, Centrum is proposing a curved, glass-covered building. The imagined view above is looking southwest with Merchandise Mart at far left. (Click on image to view larger version.)

Both buildings would have ground floor commercial space and be served by 91 parking spaces located in the residential building.

42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly and River North Residents Association are hosting a community presentation on March 31 for this development proposal. Representatives of Centrum will present plans and answer questions.
