CHICAGO — Summit Design + Build LLC has completed the conversion of an 18-story mixed-use building into apartments in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. Montrose Apartments, formerly known as Pensacola Place, underwent a phased conversion and renovation of floors one through three, which were vacant offices and retail space. Developer Waterton Associates purchased the property in 2015 with plans to modernize and refresh the building. Summit started construction in the summer of 2016, beginning with the conversion and new construction of 23 studio and one-bedroom apartments. Summit also renovated the lobby and first-floor leasing center, and added new tenant amenity spaces including a fitness center and third-floor urban lounge. Summit completed construction while the building was fully operational and occupied. Chicago-based Brininstool + Lynch provided architectural services for the project.
Formerly known as Pensacola Place, Montrose Apartments is located in the Uptown neighborhood.
