7 West Elm

As part of our collaboration on multiple projects with Convexity Properties, we are leading the construction  of the 7 West Elm Street redevelopment, a transformative project in Chicago’s historic Gold Coast neighborhood. This prominent site is being reimagined as a modern residential tower that reflects the ongoing evolution of one of the city’s most iconic districts.

Situated at the intersection of West Elm Street and North State Street, the new 28-story tower will enhance the pedestrian experience through mixed-use design by adding retail space to the main level. The upscale residential community includes:

• 304 apartment units, primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts with select studios and three-bedroom residences
• Approximately 24,000 SF of ground- and second-floor retail and restaurant space
• 132 parking spaces
• Bicycle storage space
• Amenity spaces on Levels 18 and 28, including coworking terraces, a fitness center, spa, lounge, and outdoor pool deck

In alignment with the City of Chicago’s affordable housing requirements, the project will incorporate affordable units and a financial contribution to support additional affordable housing initiatives across the city.

Working closely with the development and design teams, our team is executing a construction strategy that emphasizes efficiency, quality, and sensitivity to the surrounding urban fabric. The phased demolition and construction process is anticipated to begin in mid-2026, with project completion targeted for early 2028.
