A well-known general contractor that specializes in high-rise housing, Chicago-based Walsh Construction is bringing another high-profile project into the city’s South Loop neighborhood.

A 48-story luxury apartment building is under construction on Chicago’s posh Michigan Avenue. The 580,000-square-foot building, that will include roughly 7,500 square feet of retail on the ground floor, broke ground in April. The apartment tower is being developed by Chicago-based Murphy Development Group and Los Angeles-based CIM Group.

“This is an exciting project that’s going to bring a new and modern look to the South Loop,” Project Manager Dave Dunlap says. “It will change the face of South Michigan Avenue.”
