Sited on a four-acre site where the north and south branches of the Chicago River converge, Wolf Point East is part of an expansive two million square-foot residential planned development. Nestled in a lushly landscaped park setting, the rectangular massing of the building is articulated by several upper-level setbacks and curtain walls that incorporate glass and vertical metal fins. The building is supported by two and three-story stone clad columns, with retail at street level and glass-walled first, second and third floor amenity levels. The residential units are distributed over four vertical tiers located on floors 4 to 39; 41 to 52, 53 to 55 and 56 to 58. Special features include spectacular views of the Chicago River and skyline from the 40th floor amenity level and southern outdoor terrace, and a green roof on the 59th floor that leads to a 1,000-foot-long river walk. The project is pursuing LEED® Silver Certification. Renderings: Pelli Clark Pelli Architects. Status: Under construction
