The 411 making great progress this summer!

August 6, 2026

Despite rain and smoke from the Canadian wildfires, The 411 continues to make progress inside and out.

The metal panels have been set around the clerestory perimeter and south curtainwall framing and glass have been set. We expect to be totally enclosed in the next two weeks. ComEd has delivered our transformer, a significant milestone.

Inside things are coming together and looking great. The bathrooms on the west side of the building have had flooring and tile installed and we have started painting some of the offices. The mechanical mezzanine has been framed and drywalled and is ready for the geothermal equipment to be installed.  

Halfway there!

July marks the halfway point in renovating The 411. We started in February and are on track to complete in December.

Things are shaping up inside! We’ve completed about 75% of interior architectural wall framing and some finishes are starting to go in. The curtainwall is going up along the west elevation moving to the south elevation.

The ComEd transformer pad has been set and we will soon start boring to the new electrical pole. Then we will be ready for ComEd to start pulling their cables. Getting on ComEd’s schedule to bring power to the building is a pivotal moment in the project.  

The 411 is really starting to take shape!

As June gets underway, we have wrapped up underground work for the interior of the building – a big milestone that means we get to start really building. The west priority wall is completed and the east priority wall is just started.

We’ve also started to tear off the upper roof, standing mechanical mezzanine steel and clerestory steel is going up. We expect to start installing the curtainwall glass system this week.
