CHICAGO—Co-developers Lendlease Development and Magellan Development Group began construction last week on a high-rise condominium tower building on North Harbor Drive here.

The two firms broke ground on Cirrus, a 47-story, 363-unit luxury condominium tower at 211 N. Harbor Drive, along Chicago's lakefront in the Lakeshore East community. Scheduled to deliver its first residences in the fall of 2021, Cirrus will be developed simultaneously with Cascade, an adjacent 37-story, 503-unit rental tower. Also planned for the site will be Cascade Park, a publicly accessible green space, that will provide an activated connection to the lakefront and Chicago Riverwalk.
