General Capital worked with the Village of Wheeling staff, Plan Commission and Village Board to develop the look and feel of the project. The exterior appearance of the building was the result of a collaborative process, with General Capital responding to the Village’s desire to see a high quality building with visual references to local architecture. The gables on the building were added to respond to the Village’s comments.
The building is filled with amenities including the community areas on the ground floor, a fitness center, business center and areas for residents to gather.
