Gallery on Wells (167 W. Erie) Now Accepting Leases for Summer 2017

Enter: Crisp lines of stark whites and bold blacks accentuated by statement works of art and photography. Built for those looking to immerse themselves in 540,120 sq. ft. of efficiently-designed, art-infused living quarters, The Gallery on Wells is River North’s newest residential attraction. Built by Magellan Development and MAC Management, the building is now accepting leases for its summer, 2017 opening.

“The unveiling of The Gallery on Wells perfectly illustrates the direction we are headed with building environments that support a creative’s lifestyle,” said David Carlins, President, Magellan Development Group. “The building enters the market right behind Exhibit on Superior, both characterized by their ability to welcome conversation and collaboration.”

The Gallery on Wells invites residents to gather outside of their apartment and explore their creative side with walls dressed in inspirational motifs. Decadent details are infused into select nooks of public and amenity spaces, including embossed textures and ribbed surfaces to create interest. Steps from the city’s top galleries, the building design is influenced by the juxtaposition of art and humankind and the role art plays on our emotions, with playful, abstract and impressionistic touches throughout.

Stimulating surroundings are everywhere. Greenery and blue skies paint the building’s amenity deck – the finest residential activity deck in River North. Favorable amenities don’t end here, as guests have direct access to Dollop Coffee, adjacent to the building lobby, as well as entry to the 640 N. LaSalle building which includes Wildfire, Taco Joint and several soon-to-be-named restaurants.

Back at the residences, panoramic views of River North and downtown can be seen from all corners of the building, which towers up to 39 stories with 442 residences, including studios, convertibles as well as one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Residents can take a dip in the outdoor pool, unwind in a private cabana or in the sauna, or re-energize at the state-of the-art fitness center, dog run and lounge, or activity and gaming area.

The Gallery on Wells was funded by Ullico through its subsidiary The Union Labor Life Insurance Company and its Real Estate Investment Group provided by Ullico Inc. Additional funding sources include National Real Estate Advisors, Wanxiang America RE Group, and Strand Advisors.
