Chicago-based Joffrey Ballet recently chose Graycor Construction to serve as owner representative on a multimillion-dollar project to build a 45,000-square-foot, mixed-use facility – located at the corner of State and Randolph streets – that will become the internationally renowned classical ballet company’s permanent home.

The first two floors of the 33-story building – to be named The Joffrey Tower – will consist of retail space, with the mezzanine, third and fourth floors, where Joffrey Ballet will reside, to house administrative offices and seven state-of-the-art rehearsal studios. Unique accoustical and structural amenities were required for the rehersal studios to minimize sound transmission and vibration from the dance troupe. Condominiums will be located on floors 9 through 32. The structure also features a ‘green roof.’

The Joffrey’s new location will greatly benefit and add to the city’s rich cultural district which currently includes a world-class symphony, opera and theater community.
