Southbank
Chicago, Illinois
Situated along the picturesque south branch of the Chicago River, the Southbank development is a visionary project transforming the urban landscape of Chicago's South Loop. This ambitious initiative aims to reconnect the city with its riverfront, creating a vibrant, mixed-use community that harmonizes residential living with ample public spaces and green areas. As part of this larger vision, Southbank Building C emerges as a pivotal addition, designed to serve as both a residential haven and a gateway to the extensive riverfront amenities.
Building C stands as a testament to both aesthetic and functional design, harmonizing with the historical character of Printer’s Row while also resonating with the modernity of its urban environment. This 39-story tower will house 515 apartments, offering a range of living spaces from efficient studios to expansive three-bedroom units. Encompassing nearly 10,000 square feet of meticulously designed amenities, Building C is poised to enhance lifestyle and community interaction among its residents. FitzGerald’s approach to sustainability is integral to the design, incorporating cutting-edge strategies such as geothermal heat exchange and sanitary heat recovery systems. This commitment not only underscores FitzGerald’s dedication to environmental stewardship but also targets achieving an aggressive Energy Utilization Index (EUI), setting a new benchmark for sustainable living within the larger Southbank development.
