Fulton Market High-Rise Powered By Geothermal Could Set New Standard For Development

Chicago Tribune

A pioneering geothermal design allows 410 N. Elizabeth to function as fully electric, resulting in sustainability benefits such as an up to 60% energy-use reduction, 30% reduced emissions and 25% energy-related cost savings. The triple-glazed window wall system by Reflection Window + Wall enhances thermal comfort and reduces noise pollution.


After onboarding new client Tree Street Group at the start of last month, the Taylor Johnson team made quick work of generating outstanding coverage of the sponsorship closing for the development at 410 N. Elizabeth St. in Chicago's Fulton Market District, immediately followed by both media relations and event support for its groundbreaking. We made sure reporters had what they needed to cover the 383-unit multifamily building, developed with partners Magellan Development Group and Mark Goodman & Associates as Chicago's first residential high-rise powered by geothermal. Read more here about what the Chicago Tribune aptly described as a building that “could set a new standard.” Additional features ran in the Chicago Sun-Times, CoStar, Multifamily Executive, REBusinessOnline, Urbanize Chicago and several other outlets.
