West Loop Skyscraper, Park Adjacent to Chicago Union Station Bring Sweeping Views of Downtown + Outdoor Amenity Spaces

Substantial completion at 320 South Canal, Chicago, Illinois’ newest 52-story office tower in the heart of the West Loop, has been achieved. The milestone is a major step forward in the redevelopment of the area around Chicago Union Station, including the addition of the largest public park in the West Loop. Riverside Investment & Development Company developed the project, Clark Construction Group is the general contractor and Goettsch Partners is the architect. BMO Harris Bank is the anchor tenant.

Located directly south of the 1925 Union Station headhouse building, 320 South Canal features 1.5 million square feet of Class A office space, state-of-the-art fitness center and world-class conference facility. More than 8,000 feet of outdoor amenity spaces, including four private terraces, provide building tenants with sweeping views of downtown.

The three-tiered building is oriented in the north-south direction along the east side of the 2.5-acre site. The east face of the building aligns with the property line, reinforcing the urban street wall defined by the historic station on the adjacent block. Much of the site — approximately 1.5 acres — is set aside as public open space, featuring a large central lawn, pedestrian walkways and a variety of smaller spaces for outdoor activities. The office tower’s east and west façades showcase V-shaped structural transfers, which open up the ground floor, making the park an integral part of the building, and the building an extension of the park.

Connected to Union Station via an underground pedway, 320 South Canal offers a direct link to the Metra train concourse, Amtrak trains and Loop Link CTA bus lines at the Union Station Transit Center. Located in close proximity to major expressways, the building also includes two levels of underground parking.

The office tower began welcoming tenants in January 2022. The park will open to the public in June 2022.
