Walsh Construction Tops Out The Paragon Chicago in South Loop
CHICAGO – Walsh Construction has topped out The Paragon Chicago, a new 47-story apartment tower at 1326 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago’s South Loop. The “topping out” milestone signals the final steel beam placed atop the high-rise.
Project stakeholders along with construction and design team members celebrated the milestone by signing a ceremonious beam that was raised and placed at the 47th floor.
Being built by Walsh Construction and designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB), the tower will contain 500 luxury rental units, 7,500 square feet of retail, and 188 parking spaces. The design features a unique glass façade and a wide-range of amenities including co-working space, library, lounge, dog park, green spaces, a spa and rooftop pool.
The apartment tower is developed by Chicago-based Murphy Development Group and Los Angeles-based CIM Group. The structure is slated to open in mid-2019 and is being built to LEED Certified standards.
