Millennium Park–facing high-rises
Park and lake views pull the eye to the window wall. A quiet, consistent floor keeps the view as the subject of the room.
Flooring in the New Eastside
The New Eastside is the cluster of towers around Millennium Park and Lakeshore East, built on multi-level roadways above a park you reach by stair or elevator. It is one of the most vertical neighborhoods in the city, and we install every floor here with our own crew.

- Lakeshore East Park
- upper and lower Wacker Drive

The buildings here
Homes in New Eastside
Lakeshore East towers
Newer construction with tight association finish rules and modern acoustic requirements. We build the assembly to the written standard.
Multi-level podium buildings
New Eastside buildings sit above layered roadways. Material access runs through the lower level, and we plan the route before the truck is loaded.
Compact luxury plans
Efficient layouts where the entry, kitchen, and living area share one sightline. One material, run one direction, is almost always the right answer.
Suited to New Eastside

The most stable, quietest assembly over the concrete decks these towers are built on.
Large-format porcelain

New Eastside questions
Good to Know
- Do New Eastside buildings allow hardwood?
- Nearly all do, with an underlayment that meets the association's sound rating. We spec to that number and provide the documentation.
- How do you get material into these towers?
- Through the building's lower-level dock on a reserved freight window. We confirm the route with management before delivery day.
- Can you finish before a move-in date?
- Usually. Tell us the date at the estimate and we'll build the schedule backward from it, including any board approval time.
