River West Associates, LLC

In collaboration with Architrave, Ltd., an award-winning architectural firm, River West develops unique office space. At 211 W Wacker, an historic structure, routinely toured by the Chicago Architecture Foundation, both the building's historical importance and its location figure into the uniqueness of this office location. Designed by Holabird & Root in 1927, the Art Deco style, the building served as the headquarters of Chicago Sun Times until 1958. The building's distinctive features include a classical three-part facade with massive columns at the base, a modest shaft or midsection and smaller columns repeated at the building’s capital or top, and an elegant lobby which features terrazzo flooring, travertine walls and columns and restored decorative plaster detailing in the Egyptian Deco motif. The building's location, directly across the river from the Merchandise Mart and along recently completed sections of the River Walk, places tenants at a nexus of nautical and cultural activities as well as fine dining; all within a five to ten-minute walk. A key cultural attraction, to be featured in our Sky Lounge, is the popular Art-on-the-Mart, a fascinating digital light display occurring every night after sundown which uses the entire Mart facade as a canvas.
