The Marriott Marquis Chicago towers above the American Book Company building, which is being renovated as part of the project.
The Marriott Marquis Chicago in the South Loop topped out back in February, and the curtain wall has risen almost to the roof now. Slated for opening this fall, the 39-story Marriott Marquis will boast 1,205 rooms. 25,000 square feet of ballroom space, and 90,000 square feet of meeting space. Clark Construction has been on the build of the Goettsch Partners design.
4.17.2017 *** Some clarification is in order here. Goettsch Partners is the architect-of-record on the Marriott Marquis Chicago project. Gensler is the design architect. My apologies for the omission. ***
I thought this was Gensler, not Goettsch…
Thanks, you are correct. I’ve had this wrong for quite some time.
Dug into this today. It appears initial plans were from Gensler, but the architect of record is Goettsch. Not sure where one began and the other ended. Hoping to find out.
