‘The Voice’ contestant to serenade Gold Coast apartment tower groundbreaking

December 4, 2015 – More than two years after announcing the project, a Chicago real estate developer will break ground Wednesday on its 35-story, 390-unit, $230 million luxury apartment building at North Clark Street & West Division Street.

Solomon Cordwell Buenz Fifield Companies describes The Sinclair (left) as “transit-oriented, mixed-use.” (Click on images to view larger versions.)

It will offer apartments ranging in size from 550-square-foot studios to 2,500-square-foot four-bedroom units. Amenities will include pool, spa, green roof, sun terrace with cabanas and grilling kitchens, and a state-of-the-art fitness club with yoga studio.

The Sinclair will also house a 55,000 square foot Jewel-Osco (above) and a new entrance on LaSalle Street to the CTA Red Line station at Clark & Division. The store will replace a Jewel-Osco that was demolished along with nearby buildings on Division and LaSalle Streets.

Attending the groundbreaking event on December 9 will be Fifield principals Steven Fifield and Randy Fifield, as well as Todd Kessler. In 2013, the Northbrook, Illinois, native was a contestant on the singing competition show, The Voice. He landed a spot on a team led by soul singer CeeLo Green but was knocked out in early elimination rounds. He tours with his Chicago band, Todd Kessler and The New Folk.

Solomon Cordwell Buenz, located on North Michigan Avenue, designed the building. Demolition work at the site started in October and the project should be finished in summer 2017.

Recent changes to the project include reducing the number of floors from 42 to 35.
