It’s been ten months since breaking ground on JeffJack Apartments and now we are in the home stretch! View our time-lapse video here, and watch our building unfold from start to finish. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss it!

No attention to detail was spared during the design process leading up to construction. Now that the building is nearly complete, it’s clear that all the hard work paid off. Along Jefferson Street, the building mimics the original manufacturing lofts, with large punched openings in masonry walls. Along Jackson Boulevard, a light glassy box turns the corner, covered with bright greens mullions that wave across the façade, reminiscent of the original grasses of the Illinois prairie.

The area’s manufacturing buildings embody the strength, boldness and texture of the neighborhood. Dramatic exposed concrete elements bring that same aesthetic sensibility to JeffJack, with refined material adjacent to the raw quality of concrete. Our LEED design is apparent to the casual eye, with recycled, yet polished materials.

Stay tuned for the opening of our Leasing Center in January, and watch for opportunities to tour the inside of the building. Trust us, you’ll want to see it first-hand!
