23 S. Sangamon New Plans/Renderings Revealed

Eckenhoff Saunders is excited to share updated details and renderings for our latest collaboration with Interactive Design Architects—a new mixed-use development located at 23 S. Sangamon Street in Chicago’s vibrant West Loop. Developed by Fern Hill and Free Market Ventures, this 27-story tower is designed to thoughtfully integrate housing, recreation, and public amenities in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods.

The base of the building features a three-story podium that includes a 30,000-square-foot community center and parking for 70 vehicles. Located directly across from Mary Bartelme Park, the community center will serve as a vital civic resource. While interior programming is still being developed, the center will be crowned by a fourth-level outdoor field house with basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts.

Above the podium, the residential tower will deliver 193 new homes to the neighborhood, with a mix of for-sale and rental offerings:

• Floors 18–26: 63 condominiums featuring expansive four- and five-bedroom layouts and large private terraces.
• Floors 5–16: 130 rental apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, with a focus on larger two- and three-bedroom options.
• 26 units will be designated as affordable housing, supporting a more inclusive community.

Residents will also have access to a dedicated 17th-floor amenity level. This project reflects Eckenhoff Saunders’ ongoing commitment to designing forward-thinking environments that enhance the urban fabric and foster community well-being.
