Project Update:

Thomas Roszak Architecture's new highrise project at 215 West Lake Street in Chicago is rapidly climbing above its initial parking levels. The 33-storey development replaces a parking garage, one of many single-use structures that are steadily vanishing from the downtown core in favour of mixed-use building typologies.
