Construction begins on 115-unit Park Ridge apartment building

Demolition has been taking place on a former Park Ridge office building as plans move forward on a new luxury apartment complex.

Residential development firm Trammel Crow Company announced that the three-story, 115-unit apartment building proposed for 205 W. Touhy Ave. will be known as Park 205, with construction to begin within the last quarter of the year. Total completion is slated for late 2015.

The 3.6-acre site is next to Whole Foods and was formerly occupied by Advocate Health Care offices. Demolition crews began dismantling the building this month.

According to Trammel Crow, Park 205 will be the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified multi-family building built in Park Ridge. Buildings can qualify for LEED certification based on how they use environmentally-friendly construction strategies.

Apartment units will consist of one, two or three bedrooms, with amenities that include a pool, sun deck, outdoor fire pits, cabanas, club room, fitness center, Wi-Fi coffee lounge, business center, dog spa, bicycle storage and heated parking.
