    • The 231 S. LaSalle Fitness Center project reimagined a previously dark, underutilized basement level into a vibrant, high-end wellness destination. Designed to elevate the tenant experience, the space blends the functionality of a modern gym with the warmth and sophistication of a hospitality environment. Strategic lighting, rich material palettes, and thoughtful spatial planning were key to overcoming the challenges of a below-grade location. The result is a bright, inviting fitness center featuring top-tier equipment, flexible workout zones, and well-appointed locker rooms. Every detail—from upscale finishes to custom millwork—was curated to create a boutique atmosphere that enhances tenant satisfaction and adds value to the building’s amenity offerings.
