Marquette Holds Grand Opening on Luxury Multifamily in Illinois Medical District

Marquette Companies announced the completion and grand opening of The Lydian, a 22-story, 279-unit apartment building at 513 S. Damen Ave. in the Illinois Medical District, approximately two miles west of Chicago’s Loop.

Located west of Ogden Avenue and south of the Interstate 290/Eisenhower Expressway, The Lydian is the second building constructed in a three-phase development by Marquette Companies, representing a significant step in revitalizing the neighborhood. The firm completed the first phase in 2021, with the opening of the 18-story, 272-unit Atrio, an apartment renovation located adjacent to The Lydian. Plans for the third phase are not yet finalized.

“The completion of The Lydian is an exciting milestone for the Illinois Medical District,” said Nick Ryan, executive chairman of Marquette Companies. “This property not only provides much-needed housing options for the community but it also sets a new standard for luxury apartment living in the area.”
