Site plan approval secured for Riverline Parcel F Building B

The Chicago Department of Planning and Development has issued site plan approval for Riverline Parcel F Building B at 910 S. Wells. Planned by CMK Companies, this next phase of the overall development is located along the South Branch of the Chicago River at the intersection of S. Wells St and W. 10th St where the Taylor St R.O.W. cuts through the development site. 

Designed by Gensler, the new construction will take shape as a 28-story mixed-use building set to stand 314 feet tall. The project will include 350 residential units, 3,300 square feet of retail space, and 137 parking spaces. 

On the ground floor, the building’s residential lobby will occupy its eastern frontage on S. Wells St with the retail space on the southeast corner facing S. Wells St to the east and the Taylor Street R.O.W. to the south. The building’s parking and loading access will be via a curb cut from S. Wells St that enters on the north side of the building. Bike storage will be located next to the parking access with an amenity space in the northwest corner of the ground floor overlooking the riverwalk with an outdoor terrace. 

On the project site, the property’s frontage on the Chicago River will include a new section of riverwalk with greenery and landscaping. A pedestrian path surrounded by green space and a water feature runs along the north side of the building connecting S. Wells St to the riverwalk. 

Elevations of the building show a three-story podium that will be clad in metal and glass storefront system at the ground floor with a prefinished metal fin garage screen around the parking floors. The residential tower portion above will be enclosed with a metal and glass window wall system. 

With site plan approval secured, the project can move forward with permitting and construction. A permit for the foundation piles of the building has been filed and is undergoing the review process. A timeline for the development has not been announced.
