Smart Windows on the Rise in Chicago
New Residential, Office, School and Police Station Buildings Choose View Dynamic Glass to Promote Health and Save Energy
MILPITAS, CALIF. (PRWEB) JUNE 27, 2018
View®, the leader in dynamic glass, today announced it has completed the installation of smart windows in four Chicago projects: a high-tech office building at 2017 Mendell; Elevate luxury residences in Lincoln Park; Sunset Ridge School in Chicago’s north suburbs; and the Glen Ellyn Police Department’s new home. Chicago real estate leaders have leveraged View Dynamic Glass in their buildings for its health and wellness benefits, smart technology and energy savings.
“Our mission is to create delightful human environments for people whether they are at home, work or play,” said Rahul Bammi, Chief Business Officer of View, Inc. “View is improving student performance, making office workers more productive, and enabling developers to lease their properties faster.”
View’s smart windows let in natural light and views, and enhance mental and physical well-being by significantly reducing headaches, eyestrain and drowsiness. In addition, View’s windows reduce glare and unwanted heat, improving the energy efficiency of buildings by 20 percent.
“There’s no doubt View Dynamic Glass helped us stand out from other Chicago properties because occupants can fully enjoy the natural beauty of the area in comfort and feel a greater connection to the community,” said Daniel Slack, Principal, Baker Development. “View helped us create an experience that gives a wow factor, and ultimately leases quicker and attracts premium tenants.”
The new Chicago projects leveraging View Dynamic Glass, include:
2017 N. Mendell
This newly-renovated 62,000 square foot loft building by Baker Development Corporation, is the first Class A office/industrial building targeting entrepreneurs in Lincoln Park. View Dynamic Glass surrounds the building and enables workers to enjoy the views and natural light without annoying glare on computer screens and unwanted heat.
Elevate Lincoln Park, 930 West Altgeld Street
Located next to the newly renovated Apollo Theater, Elevate Lincoln Park, an 11-story, mixed-use development also by Baker Development, brings 191 luxury apartments and 16,000 square feet of street-level retail to the heart of Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. With View Dynamic Glass, tenants can fully enjoy the spectacular views of the Chicago skyline to break away, recharge and reflect.
Sunset Ridge School, Northfield, IL
The 70,000-square-foot, new Sunset Ridge School partnered with View Dynamic Glass to ensure learning spaces have ample natural light, which has been shown to improve student performance. The result is a school defined by bright, flexible learning spaces that foster connection, productivity and student engagement. Wight & Company led the design of the new building while Pepper Construction provided construction management.
Glen Ellyn Police Department
The new 30,000-square-foot, two-story Glen Ellyn police department that features View Dynamic Glass in its lobby and community room was recently awarded the Excellence in Masonry award, recognizing excellent architectural design in Chicago and Indiana.
