Chicago-based developer, Focus, announced the recent structural completion at 1221 W. Washington Blvd., a new mixed-use tower in Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood. Focus is also serving as the general contractor for the project.

Designed by Pappageorge Haymes, the 19-story, 286,232-square-foot luxury development features a concrete podium with a brick façade, topped by a glass curtain wall spanning floors five through 19. Once complete, the development will include 287 apartment units, approximately 2,700 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and 110 parking spaces. Apartment floor plans include a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom rental units. Planned amenities are immense, spanning over 25,000 square feet in total.

“With limited supply coming to Fulton Market, and Chicago as a whole, we are eager to complete construction of 1221 Washington to meet pent-up apartment demand,” said Tim Anderson, president and CEO of Focus. The project team also includes Luxury Living and Partners by Design. The development will be known as 1221, and first deliveries are anticipated in January 2027.
