Stead 220

The 29-story residential building offers 308 rental apartments and over 12,300 square feet of ground-floor retail.
–

Rising 314 feet, Stead 220 is positioned on a 27,244-square-foot parcel at the corner of West Fulton and North Ada streets, replacing a one-story warehouse building.

Designed by SOM as architect-of-record, the property features a façade comprised of dark grey metal projections extending vertically and horizontally with expansive floor-to-floor windows throughout. The residential units located on floors 5-28 are positioned atop a three-story podium and fourth-floor indoor and outdoor resident amenity space. The podium, which houses a lobby, retail, and parking, fronts North Ada and West Fulton streets and is divided into two masses, with the portion under the residential portion replicating the building’s gridded glass and metal façade. The second half of the podium is wrapped in black brick with large openings for storefront windows on the ground floor and the terrace on the rooftop. 

Stead 220 is sustainably designed and exceeds local energy codes, reduces water use, includes EV charging stations, provides additional EV-charging readiness, and dedicates a significant area for green roofs and working landscapes.

Interiors designed by Gensler incorporate rich textures and warm tones, from leather-clad and jewel-toned velvet furnishings and statement fixtures to richly paneled wall coverings. Drawing inspiration from hospitality design, the interiors exude an inviting ambiance, blending modern elegance with comfort to create welcoming spaces.

Residential units are available in a mix of unit layouts ranging from 400 to 1,400 square feet. Open floor plans include wide-plank wood-style flooring throughout and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the building’s architectural detailing and surrounding cityscape. Kitchens are outfitted with wood cabinetry, stone countertops, vertical subway tile backsplash, generous islands, and panelized appliances.

In alignment with the Affordable Housing Special Assessment Program (“AHSAP”), 20% of the units at Stead 220 are designated as affordable housing at a weighted average of 60% area median income (“AMI”).

Stead 220 is Shapack’s twelfth Fulton Market development and CRG’s fourth residential development in Chicago.
