Rising in Chicago’s Fulton Market District, Union West features two 15-story residential towers whose brick and masonry façades pay homage to the area’s industrial heritage. Built atop a three-story podium, the development includes 357 apartment units with exposed concrete ceilings, private terraces, and modern kitchens with high-end appliances.
Residents enjoy extensive amenities, including a fitness center, game room, and dog grooming lounge. The outdoor terrace offers a resort-like retreat with a pool, dog run, grilling stations, fire pits, and private cabanas, blending comfort and urban living in one of Chicago’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
Protective Measures & Neighbor Coordination
Spanning an entire city block bordered by Washington, Wabash, Morgan, and Sangamon Streets, the Union West project is supported by 329 steel piles, requiring precise planning and careful community coordination. Noise and vibration control were central concerns throughout foundation work.
Before construction began, the project team conducted a comprehensive pre-construction survey of surrounding structures and installed vibration monitors across the site. By reviewing the collected data and maintaining open communication with neighboring building owners, the team effectively mitigated potential impacts, ensuring structural integrity, safety, and continued neighborhood trust during construction.
