A bird’s eye view (if the bird parks its car) of construction work at 30 East.
Smack dab in the middle of all the murals in the Wabash Arts Corridor, Power Construction crews are hard at work on 30 East, a 16-story residential tower coming to the South Loop at 30 East Balbo Avenue.
Gilbane Development Company has its eye on the growing student population in this neighborhood. In that respect, 30 East will have 134 apartments ranging from studios to 4-bedroom units. Every unit will be furnished, ideal for student rentals. Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, 30 East will also have 8,000 square feet of retail space at the ground level. Gilbane expects to have the tower ready for Fall 2017 classes.
-
- 30 Balbo is surrounded by fantastic mural art.
-
- There’s even a mural on the job site itself.
-
- The best way to not forget which tower crane goes with which construction site is to put a banner on them.
