235 Van Buren, Residential skyscraper in South Loop, Chicago, United States
The 46-story tower features a glass facade with random balconies on its southern side and a rectangular grid pattern with inset balconies facing north.
Perkins & Will completed this 490-foot-tall structure in 2010, adding 714 condominium units to Chicago's architectural landscape during the city's residential expansion.
The building's design connects with Chicago's architectural tradition through its northern facade, which incorporates elements of the Chicago School's frame-expressed style.
The structure contains 570 parking spaces, 10,000 square feet of retail space on two floors, and residential units with floor-to-ceiling windows and concrete accents.
Two distinct slabs of different heights form the building's mass, creating a visual marker at the intersection of urban density and open expressway space.
