The Residences at 850
Opportunity: The opulence of this new senior living community will be grounded in the building’s architectural and cultural significance. Home to the original Lake Shore Athletic Club, 850 will retain its Beaux Arts façade in homage to architect Jarvis Hunt’s 1924 achievement.
Solution: This classic 17-story, 374,000 square foot high-rise building is being transformed to feature 139 luxury residences, including 128 independent living and 11 assisted living apartment homes. It will also include several on-site amenities, such as state-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities, spa, valet parking, multiple dining venues, and a theater.
Value: In addition to saving one of Chicago’s landmark buildings from the wrecking ball, this significant interior renovation is being designed to achieve LEED-certification.
