Chicago has issued an $85.6 million building permit to complete the construction of the “Solstice on the Park” 26-story rental tower at 1616 E. 56 St. in Hyde Park.
Linn-Mathes Inc. is listed as the general contractor for the project developed by Antheus Capital and MAC Properties. The rental project will have 250 apartments and a five-story parking garage.

Solstice on the Park is expected to be completed by spring of 2018.
Key subcontractors include: Electrical – JMS Electric, Inc.; masonry – Adjustable Forms Inc.; plumbing – Doherty Mechanical, Inc.; refrigeration and ventilation – Advanced Mechanical.
