PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Wolf Point West Tower brings the height of luxury apartment living to Chicago’s River North neighborhood. This residential tower features 509 apartments and a mix of studio, two, and three-bedroom floor plans. Located in River North’s bustling entertainment center and just steps from the Central Business District, the Wolf Point West Tower offers unrivaled amenities, including an outdoor pool and sundeck, direct access to a river walk, a state-of-the-art top-floor fitness center and spa, along with a top-floor outdoor terrace with fire pits, and indoor-outdoor dog lounge. The residential tower also provides direct access to over 100,000 square feet of landscaped planting beds, a river walk, and pedestrian areas.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

• LEED Silver, which includes the Fundamental Commissioning Prerequisite and Enhanced Commissioning Credit.
• The design team worked closely to optimize the percentage of vision glass with the energy consumption for the HVAC systems and the performance of the vision glass.
• Phased project construction processes opened the 1,350-stall parking garage over two years before the tower to fully utilize the site and maximize revenue for the owner.
• Additional amenities include a business center and study center, outdoor pool and hot tub, river gallery, club room, bike storage and washing area, and golf simulator.
• Technology integration is a critical element in the overall interconnectivity of the residential tower, structured parking, retail, and amenities such as the fitness center.
• Telecommunications system design, including backbone copper and fiber distribution and horizontal cabling. Work also included a data communications cabling system, voice cabling system, CATV cabling, and termination devices for parking, amenity, and residential areas.
  Security system design includes CCTV coverage for selected parking, ground floor, amenity levels, emergency phones, and minimal access control for main floor entry areas.
