New 298-unit ‘Exhibit on Superior’ rental tower opens in River North

Drawing its name from its location in the heart of Chicago’s original boutique art and furniture gallery district, the 34-story, cream-colored rental tower known as “Exhibit on Superior” has officially opened its doors and will start welcoming residents in the coming days. Designed by Chicago’s bKL Architecture and developed by partners Magellan Development Group, MAC Management & Parse Capital, the $113 million project replaces River North’s old Howard Johnson motel and diner that bit the dust just 20 months prior.

In addition to 298 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental apartments, Exhibit features an amenity level dubbed Howie’s—referencing the site’s previous long-time occupant. The fifth-floor space includes a well-appointed fitness center, lounge, party room, game area, library, private work stations, and an 8,400-square-foot outdoor deck with a 75-foot lap pool, hot tub, fire pits, and grilling stations overlooking the city.
