300 East Randolph, East Loop, Chicago, IL

Lakeshore East- Neighborhood

300 East Randolph is located in Lakeshore East, a relatively new neighborhood in downtown Chicago, booming with activity. Previous to the area’s current urban development, the Lakeshore East vicinity had been used by Illinois Central Railroad yards. For several years after the rail yards were vacated, the site was used as a 9-hole golf course, which was closed in 2006. The main goal of developers orchestrating the master plan for the neighborhood was to cohesively integrate the development into the inherited triple-level street system while creating a visually appealing and pedestrian friendly neighborhood.

FINISHED SPECS: Height: 797'7" Gross Structure: 2.2+ Million Gross Sq Ft.
STRUCTURE & LOADING: An additional 24 stories of structure (approximately 65,000 tons of weight) were added on top of an existing 33 stories of structure (approximately 125,000 tons of weight) for a total of 190,000 tons of weight bearing on our foundation - which is made up of a series of structural caissons bearing on a hardpan layer (a very consistent hard layer of clay about 90 FT below the ground) and not bedrock. Our foundation is rated to support 240,000 tons of weight for an approximately 50,000 ton factor of safety.
