The Row, Fulton Market

Related Midwest LLC set out to bring luxury and affordable living to Chicago’s historic Fulton Market District. They engaged us to serve as the architect of record for this transformative project.

Working closely with designer Morris Adjmi Architects, our team developed a 43-story tower that draws inspiration from the historic structures throughout the former meatpacking district and nearby L tracks. Arched support beams, which take a cue from the tracks, are reflected in the building’s glass-and-steel façade with arched window and metal articulation repeated to the top of the building. Other distinguishing features include a podium enclosure with forward-facing decorative masonry with structural brick support, to achieve the required fire-rating, articulating metal panels, and glazing.

The contemporary yet classic look carries throughout the interiors to convertible, one- to three-bedroom residences and penthouses with sweeping views of the neighborhood. Residents enjoy abundant amenities including a fitness center, yoga room, children’s playroom, co-working space, party room, swimming pool, outdoor grilling stations, and on-site structured parking.

The Row is the first high-rise completed in Chicago under new Affordable Illinois legislation, bringing 60 high-quality, affordable units to a sought-after neighborhood that previously lacked affordable housing.
