Celebrating Progress & Purpose: The Topping Out of 220 N. Ada

We’re topped out at 220 N. Ada!

Clayco recently celebrated a major milestone with a topping-out ceremony for our 29-story residential building project in Chicago. For the team, this event is a meaningful moment of pride and achievement, but the true impact of this development stretches far Beyond These Walls. 220 N. Ada plays a vital role in advancing investment and economic growth in the Fulton Market and the greater Chicagoland area. Every part of this project is thoughtfully crafted to inspire and uplift the community, creating new jobs and supporting initiatives like CRG’s PILLAR program, which empowers developers of color to lead large-scale developments successfully.

Our forward-thinking teams also recognize that preserving the health of our planet is a top priority to keep people safe. The foundations of 220 N. Ada were built with sustainability in mind, exceeding local energy codes and featuring an energy-efficient structure that actively benefits the environment. The project includes reduced water usage, EV charging stations, dedicated spaces for green roofs, and vibrant, productive landscapes. We’re also proud to commit to diverting 80% of construction waste, making a significant impact in our journey toward a greener future.

Huge thanks to Shapack Partners, KMW COMMUNITIES, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM),  CRG, and all the fantastic people and partners who helped make this transformative development possible. 220 N. Ada is a great symbol of how, when we work together, we can facilitate a more inclusive industry and world. Clayco remains committed to driving the growth of this dynamic district, delivering innovative solutions that meet the needs of its diverse community. I’m excited to see 220 N. Ada become a landmark of impact and progress when it's completed in 2026.

As the project shifts toward the finishing stages, let’s keep building excitement for what’s next!
