West Loop’s Two-Tower Porte Launches Move-Ins

Lendlease Development and The John Buck Company, together with partner Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation, launched move-ins at Porte, a two-tower, mixed-use development at 855 W. Madison St. in the West Loop.
 
Designed by G|R|E|C Architects, Porte spans a full city block bordered by Madison Street to the north, Monroe Street to the south, Peoria Street to the west and Green Street to the east. It features a total of 586 residences, including a pair of 17-story apartment towers along with a collection of rental townhomes with private entrances.
 
“Porte was always planned as a live/work/play community, and we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what that means today and how we can provide that lifestyle in new and innovative ways,” said Ted Weldon, executive general manager for Lendlease Development in Chicago. “This has impacted everything from design to day-to-day operations as we prioritize safety, wellness, service and convenience.”
