Lendlease, John Buck Break Ground in West Loop

Lendlease, co-developer The John Buck Company, and partner Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation broke ground on 845 West Madison, a two-tower mixed-use development in the West Loop. Scheduled for completion in 2020, it will occupy a full-block site, formerly home to skin care manufacturer H2O Plus.

“This project is so much more than just a run-of the-mill mix of ‘residential plus retail,’” said John Buck, chairman and CEO of TJBC. “As the Chicago real estate market and neighborhoods change and evolve, the building at 845 West Madison is a thoughtful and timely response to the kinds of homes now in demand in this area.”

Between them, the two towers will contain 586 residences and 10,000 square feet of retail.

“We look forward to reimagining this prominent site as a new neighborhood anchor, whose residential and retail offerings reflect the continued evolution of the West Loop community,” said Lendlease’s Tom Weeks.
