“Architect and developer David Hovey isn’t the type to splash his name across the side of his latest downtown Chicago apartment tower, but his signature will be all over it.
The 56-story tower, nearing completion at 220 E. Illinois St. in Streeterville, is a clean-lined modernist design, like most of his large portfolio of residential buildings that Hovey’s firm, Glencoe-based Optima, has put up in the city and suburbs in the past four decades.”
