The renovation at 1440 Lake Shore Drive includes targeted exterior and interior upgrades to a 36-story condominium tower on Chicago’s lakefront.

This project was especially meaningful for FitzGerald, as the building was originally designed by one of our founding partners.

Our team provided design and architectural services to enhance the porte cochere and roof deck, and to refresh the lobby, elevator lobby, mail room, and meeting room interiors. The Owner’s Association sought to improve visual appeal, functionality, and usability while preserving the building’s character.The design blends modern touches with the building’s architectural legacy, elevating both its aesthetic and the daily experience of its residents — all within a thoughtful, cost-conscious approach.
