WEST LOOP — A water tower was removed from a Fulton Market building over the weekend, according to a developer's Facebook post.
Heneghan Wrecking removed and demolished the water tower which had been atop the Federal Savings Bank building at Elizabeth and Fulton streets.
The building, owned by prominent West Loop developer Sterling Bay, is going to be part of Fulton West, a new office campus located just blocks from Sterling Bay's 1K Fulton development, future home to Google's Midwest headquarters.
The wood from the water tower will be salvaged and incorporated into the new development, according to the Sterling Bay post.
Stephanie Lulay says the neighborhood is changing every day:
Sterling Bay does not have plans to demolish the Federal Savings Bank building, according to Maggie Schweitzer, Sterling Bay spokeswoman.
There will also be 796 on-site parking spaces, a private roof deck, balconies and a 20,000-square-foot pocket park on site. The Fulton West development is expected to be completed by December 2016.
