LJC Unveils Renderings of Office-to-Residential Conversion in Chicago’s Loop

Lamar Johnson Collaborative, an architecture firm headquartered in Chicago, has revealed interior renderings of The LaSalle Residences, an office-to-residential adaptive reuse project at 208 S. LaSalle St. in Chicago’s Loop.

The renderings represent the first interior images to be released from any of the properties moving forward under the City of Chicago’s LaSalle Corridor Revitalization initiative. Led by Chicago-based developer The Prime Group, Inc., the plan for 208 S. LaSalle St. will repurpose 222,500 square feet of office space on floors 13 to 16 into 226 apartments offered in studio, one- and two-bedroom floor plans.

Lamar Johnson Collaborative serves as the architect of record for The LaSalle Residences with design architect Lucien Lagrange. Chicago’s Community Development Commission voted to approve up to $26.2 million in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance for The LaSalle Residences. The estimated total project cost is $130 million, and The Prime Group aims to start construction in early 2025, pending approvals and permits.
