The newest downtown high-rise near the Chicago River is lining up renters for next month's opening.
Context: The Cassidy on Canal building (350 N. Canal) is a 33-story mixed-use glass building that jets up 375 feet into the air from the Fulton River District, spitting distance from the Kinzie bridge.
By the numbers: The project, developed by Habitat and others, cost $139 million.
It will be a mix of studios ($2,550) to two-bedrooms ($5,660).
The penthouse will set you back $10,810 per month.

The intrigue: The sleek building plays homage to its previous tenant, Cassidy Tires. The Chicago mechanic operated a small shop in that location for almost 50 years.
The building torn down to make room for this tower had been there since 1908.
The new tower isn't just paying homage with the name. It also used some of the bricks from the demolished building to create the new facade.
