In 2016, we had the pleasure of providing several beautiful Watstontown Brick colors to the new Water Street District of Naperville. Anchored by Hotel Indigo and tenant-developer Marquette Management‘s headquarters, this bustling mixed-use area was thoughtfully planned and designed by the minds of SGW Architecture & Design.
Today, visitors can enjoy numerous restaurants, upscale shopping, public art along the revamped riverwalk, and ample parking. Inspired by European space-use theory, the district was carefully crafted to feel welcoming to pedestrians. The old-world sanded texture and color variation of the Watsontown face brick used throughout adds to the charm and handcrafted aesthetic of the area, while “Atlas” structural brick by Interstate Brick adds stability behind the scenes.
It’s exciting to walk through the completed area these days and appreciate the rich variety of masonry we were able to furnish! Check it out the next time you’re in Naperville and let us know what you think.
