1250 LaSalle
A Transformative Apartment Renovation in Chicago’s Gold Coast
1250 LaSalle stands as a prime example of ML Group’s expertise in multi-family housing renovation in Chicago’s Gold Coast. This full-scale design-build project revitalized a high-rise apartment building, reimagining underutilized spaces to enhance marketability and resident experience. Through strategic planning, innovative design, and seamless execution, ML Group transformed oversized mechanical and storage areas into valuable amenities, including a new fitness center, lounge, and rooftop enhancements.
Strategize. Maximizing Value in Multi-Family Housing
Understanding the evolving needs of Chicago’s Gold Coast rental market, ML Group identified opportunities to optimize the building’s existing footprint. By repurposing outdated mechanical and storage spaces, the team introduced high-demand amenities that elevated the resident experience and increased the building’s competitive appeal. This strategic approach ensured that every square foot contributed to the property’s long-term value.
Imagine. Reimagining Spaces for Modern Living
Through thoughtful architecture and interior design, ML Group transformed 196 apartment units, modernized the lobby, and revitalized common areas to reflect contemporary urban living. One of the project’s most inventive solutions was the rooftop “pool.” Due to structural limitations and height constraints, a traditional pool was impractical. Instead, ML Group designed a dynamic water feature—essentially a splash pad—that delivers the ambiance of a pool while minimizing structural load, insurance costs, and maintenance requirements.
Transform. Overcoming Challenges with Expertise
ML Group’s integrated construction management ensured that every phase—from exterior renovations to interior upgrades—was executed efficiently despite structural challenges. The team’s ability to anticipate and resolve issues proactively kept the project on track while delivering high-quality results. The transformation of the rooftop into a premier amenity space, featuring a new lounge, gym, and outdoor gathering areas, further reinforced the building’s appeal.
1250 LaSalle exemplifies ML Group’s integrated design and construction process, where strategic planning, architectural vision, and expert execution come together to enhance multi-family housing in Chicago. Through this design-build approach, ML Group continues to create value-driven renovations that redefine urban living.
