220 North Ada is bringing more than 300 new apartments to the west end of the West Loop. But first, there has to be a tower crane. And that tower crane should be arriving very, very soon.
A visit Monday sure looked like caisson work was wrapping up. Some of the equipment has been loaded onto trucks for transport to their next call of duty, while machinery has been dismantled so it can be removed from the site as well. That likely means we’ll have some excavation work coming up next, as well as the planting of the tower crane base.
A reminder that the caisson permit for 220 was issued November 22 or 2023; the tower permit came through March 5 of this year. Next will likely be a superstructure permit, followed by the full-building permit.
Your on-site team consists of General Contractor Clayco and Concrete Contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction. The development team includes the development team of Shapack Partners, CRG, and KMW Communities. 220 North Ada’s Architect of Record is Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
Per CRG’s website, 220 North Ada will deliver 308 rental units across the 29-story tower; 62 apartments will be designated as affordable. Units will be a mix of studio, one- and two-bedrooms, and penthouses, all atop three levels of parking. 12,000+ square feet of retail space will be included at ground level. Early 2026 is the projected opening date.
