Foundation permit issued for bathhouse at 8 N. Morgan

A foundation permit has been issued for a three-story bathhouse planned at 8 N. Morgan. Planned by Fulton Street Companies, the project site is a surface parking lot located at the northwest corner of W. Madison St and N. Morgan St.

Designed by Gensler, the plan envisions a 40,000 square foot, three-story spa set to be occupied by New York-based Bathhouse. The building is set to include a rooftop restaurant and pool. Renderings show a brick-clad facade with rounded corners and opaque glazing.

With the piling permit already issued and the foundation permit now issued, general contractor DCS Midwest has begun construction and can continue on the building’s foundation. Further permits for the full building will be needed but have not been issued.
