Construction update – 500 North Lake Shore Drive

The 500-unit apartment tower under construction at 500 N Lake Shore Dr in Streeterville is more than halfway toward its 45-story height. In the picture above the building is framed by the RiverView Condominiums, 415 and 445 E North Water St.

When complete, the building will include a 30,000 square foot amenity package with club rooms for entertaining and relaxing on the 11th and 45th floors. The building will also feature a landscaped exterior roof terrace with a lap-length pool, sundeck, private cabanas and dining spaces with kitchens and a fire pit.

The development is targeting occupancy beginning in May 2013.
