The Inside View

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction process at 800 W. Fulton and offer up this inside view and progress update. The real estate media has featured so many completed renderings of the building, but what is seldom seen are the details of the many forms, textures, and materials coming together to frame up spaces, light, and views that will give this finished project its character.

Just look at the enormous cross bracing that references SOM’s own timeless design of the John Hancock tower 55 years ago. Also check out the decorative brickwork patterns paying homage to the surrounding warehouse construction methods and materials. All of it comes together in this recent late afternoon pictorial to show off how the building will distinctly reflect and also redefine the past.
