Work in progress: Superior 110 out of the ground

Superior 110

Construction on JFJ Development Company‘s Superior 110 is moving along. Since last we checked, the superstructure has emerged at the site, at 110 W Superior St. The 27-story building, designed by Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, will tower over its River North neighbors. As a recent feature in New Homes Magazine explained:

The mechanics of Chicago’s zoning ordinance allowed JFJ to build tall on the former site of a police station. Because the buyer of the northern piece of the site constructed a building of just four stories, JFJ essentially was able to borrow the allowed height (or “floor area ratio”) not used by the other project.

“Instead of being able to build two buildings that were only 14 or 15 stories tall, they gave the floor area ratio over to us,” says Jon Zitzman, JFJ’s president.

As we’ve mentioned, deliveries are planned for late next summer.
