Superior House offers a refined residential experience in the heart of Chicago’s River North Art Gallery District—a condominium building that is both connected and secluded, providing residents with a quiet urban retreat just steps from the city’s cultural core.
Spanning 123,000 sf across 12 stories, Superior House features 34 luxury condominium units designed for comfort and elegance. Each home includes master bedroom suites, custom closets, and spa-inspired bathrooms, complemented by floor-to-ceiling glass walls that frame sweeping city views. Interiors boast open layouts, oversized kitchens, private terraces, and generous entertainment spaces, reflecting modern living at its finest.
The building’s amenity spaces create an elevated residential experience with a fitness center, lounge, sky deck, fireplace, dog run, bike room, green roof, and outdoor dining areas—all designed to foster community and relaxation above the city.
Value Engineering & Design Innovation
A distinctive element of Superior House’s design, the flying buttresses surrounding the amenity deck were initially planned as metal columns with inlay detailing. Following collaboration among the owner, architect, and project team, the columns were redesigned in concrete, achieving a nearly identical aesthetic at roughly half the cost.
The team also proposed replacing the wooden slatted ceilings on the amenity deck and terrace with a cost-effective alternative that maintained the original architectural vision. Both value engineering solutions were approved, delivering significant savings without compromising design integrity or visual appeal.
