Rockwell on the River is a dynamic, ever-evolving destination where Chicago’s industrial heritage meets contemporary sophistication. Located on three scenic acres along the revitalized North Branch of the Chicago River in the Avondale neighborhood, this unique complex offers a blend of modern amenities and historic charm. Originally constructed in 1933 as a tannery, the property was meticulously redeveloped starting in 2013 and officially opened in 2018, with final renovations completed in 2020. Today, it stands as a testament to architectural preservation and innovative reuse, featuring dramatic double bow-truss timber ceilings, exposed brick walls, skylights, Black Locust wood floors, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame sweeping river views. More than just a beautiful setting, Rockwell on the River offers a rich sensory and cultural experience. The campus includes a craft coffee roastery, artisan distillery, brewery, and riverside dining venues that bring together locals and visitors alike. Adding to the vibrancy of the space are thoughtfully designed retail spaces, private offices, a full-service marina with boat docks, and European-style cobblestone courtyards accented by original sculptures and lush landscaping, creating an atmosphere that is both inspiring and inviting. Functionality meets aesthetic at every turn, with tenant-controlled HVAC, high-speed Wi-Fi, 24-hour access, a dedicated loading dock, and an on-site catering kitchen. Accessibility is seamless—visitors can arrive by car via I-90/94, public transportation, bike, foot, or even by kayak or boat. Ample on-site parking and private outdoor areas further enhance the experience. Rockwell on the River isn’t just a place—it’s a destination, a creative community, and a remarkable reimagining of post-industrial Chicago brought vividly to life.
