Construction has kicked off for the first tower of Halsted Pointe at 931 North Halsted Street on Goose Island<\/a>. Sitting on the southeastern tip of the island, Halsted Pointe is replacing the now-demolished Greyhound bus facility just across the river from the upcoming Bally\u2019s Casino. Canadian developer Onni has been working on the proposal for a few years now.<\/p>\n

While the completed project will include five high-rises and a mid-rise, this initial phase will consist of a 46-story tower designed by local architecture firm HPA. The 500-foot skyscraper will be anchored by a five-story podium, which will meet the slope of Halsted as it descends from the nearby bridge. This will be done via split-level retail connecting it to the ground level below.<\/p>\n

In total, said podium would hold 18,900 square feet of commercial space across multiple storefronts, as well as 200 parking spaces in the floors above. This will be capped by a large multi-level outdoor deck and connected to various amenities like a fitness center, wellness space, lounge, and game room.<\/p>\n

This will support 460 residential units in the tower above, made up of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom layouts. Of those, 92 will need to be considered affordable. The structure itself will take on a boxy form and utilize two tones of glass, along with cantilevered and inset balconies to break up the massing with angled elements.<\/p>\n

To access the building, a new driveway will be built around the structure to be used by future phases as well. The project secured $220 million in funding<\/a> back in late 2024, scoring its first construction permits<\/a> just a few months ago. Now, caisson drilling equipment, concrete trucks, and a small crane are actively working on the site. The project has a 24-month timeline.<\/p>\n
