One Chicago Hero Rendering

One Chicago (formerly One Chicago Square) is a development currently under construction in the River North neighborhood of Chicago. JDL Development developed the building, and Goettsch Partners and Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture provided designs.

History and development[]

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 will contain two towers connected by a central podium.[7] When completed, the taller of the two towers will be the eighth-tallest structure in Chicago with an anticipated 78 stories,[8] although a final height has not been determined and a spire may be added to the design.[9]

Usage[]

The project is mixed-use, though primarily residential, with 812 units.[10]

Planned retail tenants for the podium of the two towers include a Whole Foods Market and Life Time luxury athletic resort, as well as a restaurant and an event center catered toward receptions for weddings at Holy Name Cathedral.[11]
