The project site is located over the CTA
blue subway line and adjacent to the Metra North and Northwest lines as
they feed into the Chicago and Northwestern Station.
The presence of a significant amount of
rail noise and vibration from beneath required the use of a base isolator
network. The buildings rest on a system of double footings (separated by
bridge bearing pads) resting over the CTA subway tunnels.
The project includes three major
building types: the midrise steel framed buildings (pictured), two
townhome buildings and a six flat condominium structure.
