Why city, backers see Chicago office-to-apartments project as one model to revitalize US downtowns

City and backers frame the 19 S. LaSalle office-to-apartments plan as a model for revitalizing American downtowns.

19 S. LaSalle is a 16-story, century-old office tower in the heart of the Loop — an early skyscraper that Envoi is repositioning for residential life as downtown Chicago rethinks its underused office stock. See it among the projects in our portfolio.

It is part of Envoi Partners’ value-based, infill adaptive-reuse work across Chicago — giving the city’s overlooked, character-rich buildings a second life. The future of Chicago’s past.
