Converted lofts, exposed brick and Fulton Market towers
Converted lofts have exposed brick outer walls and concrete or heavy-timber columns. Sleeve anchors go into solid brick, never the soft old mortar; concrete gets a hammer drill and concrete anchors. Cables can't go inside, so they run in a raceway painted to the brick or behind furniture. Brick and masonry.
New towers in Fulton Market have concrete and steel-stud partitions. Snap-toggles across two steel studs, and cables inside the drywall ($69). Metal studs.
Offices and restaurants
Fulton Market offices want conference-room displays; Randolph Street restaurants want bar TVs and menu screens. We work before opening or after hours, mount level and run cables in slim raceways ($39). Raceway guide.
Big screens on brick walls
Loft walls are big, and people want 85 to 100-inch screens on them. Up to 85 inches is $129; 86 and up start at $179 with two technicians and a heavy-duty mount anchored into solid brick. Concrete walls.

What this means for your TV wall
With 71.2% of homes in buildings of 20 or more units and a median year built of 2003, most West Loop TV walls are steel studs over a concrete slab. The older converted warehouses are a different story: there the strongest wall is usually the solid brick shell. And because 58.7% of households rent, many jobs start with a landlord's or board's sign-off and end in raceway rather than an opened wall.
Lofts and glass: what is behind the wall
The loft wave followed the restaurants: Vivo opened at Randolph and Green in 1991, and developers began turning brick storage and manufacturing buildings into homes. China Club Lofts at 616 W Fulton, an 1895 Sears & Roebuck timber warehouse, became condos in 1997; Odyssey Lofts on Jackson and 123 North Sangamon came much later. Behind the paint we usually find the original brick shell or later concrete-block infill. Block takes anchors in its web, never a mortar joint, and thin stone or brick veneer glued over drywall is decoration, not structure.
The glass wave is newer: The Row at 900 West Randolph was completed at 43 stories in 2023. Towers like it mean steel-stud partitions over a poured slab, about an hour and a half on site, and sometimes a return trip if the engineer must inspect an opened wall.

Rooftop decks and building paperwork
Fulton Market's core is the Fulton-Randolph Market District, a Chicago Landmark district. Reviewers there have asked that rooftop railings, planters and trellises stay low and set back from street view, and a 2015 approval at 1001 W. Fulton Market kept rooftop elements below the parapet. So deck TVs go on a penthouse or inner wall under that line, with a sealed cable entry, a drip loop and a GFCI outlet; sets that are not all-weather models come down in early October.
Indoors, the management office sets the schedule. Forward its email when you request a visit: Denys starts the certificate of insurance and elevator booking that day, and same-day slots are often open. Mounting a 65-inch screen is $129 flat, and a painted raceway adds $39. Our Fulton Market work even includes a two-screen restaurant video wall. It went up as a 2x1, with a Chicago-licensed low-voltage partner pulling the signal run.

TV mounting in West Loop, IL: common questions
Can you mount a TV on exposed brick in my West Loop loft?
Yes, with sleeve anchors in solid brick and cables in a painted raceway.
Can you mount a 98-inch TV on a loft wall?
Yes. 86 inches and up start at $179 with two technicians.
How much does TV mounting cost in the West Loop?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Do you install conference-room displays?
Yes, after hours if needed, with a COI for the building.
Do you work in the South Loop too?
Yes, lofts and high-rises alike, at the same flat rates.
Can you mount a TV on my roof deck?
Usually, yes. In the landmark district we keep the rooftop screen below the parapet and out of street view. Sets that are not all-weather models come down each October and go back up level in spring.
Can you send our building a COI first?
Yes, gladly. About 9 in 10 downtown condo buildings we work in ask for one naming the association. Send the manager's email and we deliver it early, reserve the service elevator and book within contractor hours.
Can my TV cord go inside a rental wall?
No. Code keeps a TV cord out of walls and out of raceways with cables. In-wall means a listed in-wall power kit or a new outlet from a licensed electrician, and your landlord's yes. Many renters hide only the HDMI.
