Chicago-Based Parkside Realty, Inc. Celebrates Topping Off of Fulton East, Modern Office Building in Chicago’s Fulton Market District

  

 Fulton East, a new-construction, 12-story office and retail building in Chicago’s Fulton Market District, has topped off and is scheduled to deliver in June 2020.

CHICAGO, IL — Chicago-based real estate developers Bob Wislow and Camille Julmy of Parkside Realty, Inc. announced the topping off of Fulton East, a 12-story, 90,000-square-foot modern glass-and-steel office and retail building in Chicago’s historic Fulton Market District. 

Chicago-based Clayco is leading the design-build effort for Fulton East with its in-house architecture firm, Lamar Johnson Collaborative. The building, located at 215 N. Peoria St., is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in June 2020.

A lit fir tree was added to the roof of Fulton East to celebrate the topping off of the 12-story office and retail building. The tree is located near the project’s “You Are Beautiful” art installation by Chicago-based artist Matthew Hoffman.

 “We are proud to achieve this construction milestone for Fulton East, which will be among the first new-construction Class A boutique office buildings in Chicago’s hottest downtown submarket,” said Wislow, chairman and CEO of Parkside Realty, Inc.

“In just a few months, we will deliver a building that offers flexible floor plans to meet the workspace needs of companies desiring a Fulton Market address to attract top talent. 

"Businesses across industries, whether design firms or law firms, innovative tech companies or established consultancies, desire this dynamic, convenient location and all the special qualities of a new building.”

With forward-thinking design as a differentiator, Fulton East features 11-foot, 4-inch ceilings; floor-to-ceiling windows for maximum day lighting; and multiple connections to outdoor space. 

Building amenities include spacious 9-by-27-foot balconies on each floor for meetings or relaxing, as well as an 8,000-square-foot landscaped rooftop park exclusively for tenant use.

This shared rooftop amenity will feature comfortable seating designed for daily work, team meetings and client entertainment, with state-of-the-art connectivity for product demonstrations, sports viewing or movie nights.

And because Fulton East is surrounded by landmarked buildings, tenants will enjoy maximum sunshine and unobstructed views of the Chicago skyline.

“There’s high demand for this type of customizable office space in one of the country’s most exciting urban neighborhoods, and we’re thrilled we’ll be able to deliver Fulton East quickly by utilizing a thoughtful design-build strategy,” said Bob Clark, Clayco’s founder, chairman and CEO.

“Design-build is the fastest growing method to deliver construction projects in America today, with designer and contractor working together as a team to make necessary changes or resolve construction issues. By choosing this collaborative approach, Parkside has been able to keep Fulton East on track.”

Fulton East features eight floors of highly efficient office space, each with a 10,605-square-foot, virtually column-free floor plate. 

Designed to appeal to a broad range of tenants, each floor can be used in its entirety, combined with other floors or subdivided for smaller companies. 

In addition to the rooftop green space with interactive multi-function TV screens and private balconies on each floor, building amenities include three floors of reserved indoor parking and an enclosed bicycle storage room. At ground level, 5,000 square feet of retail space is available for lease.

Fulton East is centrally located, pedestrian-friendly and stands in the center of some of the city’s most popular dining, retail and nightlife offerings.

The building is easily accessible from the city and suburbs with its location just west of the Kennedy Expressway, only one-and-a-half blocks from the CTA’s Morgan Green and Pink Line station, two blocks from the No. 8 Halsted bus route and about a 10-minute walk to the nearest Metra commuter rail station.
