It was hot fun in the summertime as JDL Development announced the grand opening of 1000 South Clark, its 29-story, 469-unit luxury apartment tower in the South Loop. JDL and its partner in the building, iStar, invited 300 guests to tour the studio and one-bedroom models—designed by Crate & Barrel, West Elm, Room & Board and Interior Define—along with more than 43k SF of amenities.

Pictured are guests at the 1000 South Clark grand opening celebration mingling on the 20k SF outdoor terrace.
