Fulton Market's skyline has a new addition as The Dylan, a 30-story mixed-use development located at 160 North Morgan Street, completes construction and welcomes its first residents. Developed through a collaboration between Sterling Bay and Ascentris, this 350-foot high-rise offers a total of 282 rental apartments along with 2,657 square feet of ground-level retail space. With a variety of floor plans ranging from studios to spacious three-bedroom units, The Dylan caters to a diverse range of housing needs.
Unit Features
The apartments at The Dylan are designed to provide residents with a comfortable and modern living experience. Features include floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views, exposed concrete for an industrial-chic aesthetic, energy-efficient LED lighting, Delta fixtures, quartz countertops, and custom closets to maximize storage space. The 28th-floor penthouse units take luxury to the next level with wide-plank flooring, upgraded bathroom features, and chef-worthy kitchens equipped with SubZero, Wolf, and Cove brands.
Affordable Housing
The development includes a commitment to affordability with 28 on-site units designated for affordable housing. The developers have further demonstrated their dedication to the community by contributing $2 million to the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund and an additional $5.26 million to Solar Lofts, a mixed-income housing project located in the South Loop area.
Amenities
Residents of The Dylan will enjoy an array of amenities that enhance their quality of life. These amenities include an outdoor deck on the fifth floor, a fully-equipped fitness center with personal training rooms, coworking facilities for those working remotely, a comfortable lounge area, and even a dog run for four-legged residents. For a truly elevated experience, the 29th-floor sky deck offers a pool with breathtaking views over 300 feet above street level.
Design and Architecture
The Dylan boasts a unique architectural design created by bKL Architecture in collaboration with Harken Interiors and Sterling Bay Design Studio. The building features a rectangular massing divided into two staggered volumes, providing a striking appearance. The exterior is characterized by floor-to-ceiling windows, red metallic panels, and dark metal beams. Notably, the southern section of the tower extends beyond the podium, supported by distinctive Y-shaped columns. The artistic touch of the building includes murals by Emmy Star Brown and Kate Lewis, adding an extra layer of creativity to the structure.
Convenient Location
Residents will appreciate the convenience of living at The Dylan. Within a 10-minute walk, they can access Divvy bike stations and bus services for Routes 8 and 20. Additionally, Morgan Station, which serves the Green and Pink Lines, is just a one-minute walk to the north, offering easy transportation options for daily commutes.
Construction and Development
Walsh Construction and BOWA Construction served as co-general contractors for the construction of The Dylan. Notably, this development marks Sterling Bay's first primarily residential project in the Fulton Market district, adding to the district's vibrant and evolving landscape.
The completion of The Dylan is a testament to Fulton Market's growth and transformation, providing modern living spaces and amenities while contributing to the community's well-being through affordable housing initiatives and community investment.
