Full Permit Moves 1282 W. Washington Luxury Condos Forward in West Loop

1282 W. Washington ZSD and Corwin Partners

WEST LOOP - A boutique luxury condo development in the West Loop is moving into its next major phase.

A full building permit has been issued for 1282 W. Washington Boulevard, a planned five-story condo building from ZSD Corp and Corwin Partners. The project is planned for a midblock site between N. Elizabeth Street and N. Ada Street, replacing an existing one-story structure along one of the West Loop’s most active residential corridors.

With the foundation permit already issued, the full building permit allows construction to move forward toward completion. ZSD Corp is also serving as general contractor for the project.

What Is Planned at 1282 W. Washington?

The building is designed by SGW Architecture & Design and will include 16 new for-sale condominiums.

Unlike many downtown condo projects focused on smaller floor plans, 1282 W. Washington is being positioned as a larger-format, single-family-scale condo offering. The residences are expected to include four- and five-bedroom layouts, family rooms, home offices, and expansive private outdoor space.

Each residence is planned with a private elevator entry and foyer, along with two heated garage parking spaces. The first-floor interior garage is also expected to include EV charging and bike storage.

For West Loop buyers, that combination matters. The project is targeting people who want the space and function of a single-family home but prefer the convenience, walkability, and lower-maintenance lifestyle of a condo building.

Design and Outdoor Living

Renderings show a light-toned masonry exterior with vertical masonry piers, brick detailing, and a symmetrical front facade.

Private terraces are integrated into the front corners of the building, giving the development a more residential feel from the street. Top-floor units are expected to include private roof decks, while all residents will have access to a shared rooftop deck.

That outdoor space is one of the key selling points. In the West Loop, buyers often compare square footage, views, parking, and outdoor access closely, especially at the luxury price point.

A condo with private terraces, large floor plans, office space, and garage parking can compete differently than a typical high-rise unit.

Why This Matters for the West Loop Condo Market

The West Loop has become one of Chicago’s strongest lifestyle neighborhoods, but most new development in recent years has leaned heavily toward rentals, office, restaurants, and larger mixed-use projects.

A boutique condo project like 1282 W. Washington adds a different type of inventory.

With only 16 residences, the building is not designed for mass-market condo demand. It is aimed at buyers looking for space, privacy, modern design, and direct access to the neighborhood’s restaurants, parks, schools, transit, and downtown employment centers.

The location also matters. The project sits near Union Park, Randolph Street, and the broader West Loop and Fulton Market dining corridor. It is also marketed as being close to Skinner Park and within the Skinner West Elementary district.

For buyers comparing larger condo homes in the neighborhood, this type of project may offer an alternative to both traditional townhomes and high-rise luxury condos.

Pricing and Delivery Timeline

The condos are being marketed in the luxury range, with prior public project details showing pricing from approximately $1.7 million to $4 million. The official project site also describes the residences as single-family condos with Fall 2027 delivery.

The developers are advertising that deliveries will begin in Fall 2027, giving buyers time to evaluate floor plans, outdoor space, finishes, parking, and how the building compares with other West Loop options.

For buyers looking at the highest end of the West Loop condo market, timing will matter. Boutique projects with limited unit counts can move differently than larger condo buildings because there are fewer opportunities to buy into the building.

The Takeaway

The full building permit for 1282 W. Washington is a meaningful step for the West Loop condo market.

The project will bring 16 large-format luxury condominiums to a midblock site near Union Park, Randolph Street, and the broader West Loop lifestyle corridor. With four- and five-bedroom layouts, family rooms, home offices, private elevator entries, two heated garage parking spaces, EV charging, bike storage, private terraces, and roof decks, the development is clearly aimed at buyers who want more space without leaving the city.

As construction moves forward toward expected Fall 2027 deliveries, 1282 W. Washington will be one of the West Loop condo projects to watch for buyers seeking a single-family-home feel in a walkable downtown neighborhood.
