Already, wood piles supporting the walls of boat slips have been uncovered by construction crews. In the 1800s, the site was a harbor. "While we have a little more elbow room here than your typical city site, the proximity to Lake Michigan, along with the mysteries of working on a site that was first part of the lake and then filled up with debris from the Chicago Fire, will keep the project interesting," Bullard says.
Crews are drilling 99 caissons and will pour more than 30,000 cubic yards of concrete to support the 700,000-sf building designed by DeStefano + Partners. The project is McHugh's third in the Lakeshore East neighborhood.
Magellan Development Group and NNP Residential & Development have sold 81% of the units, which range from 650 sf to 2,500 sf.
