Where a toilet fits on a Near North Side tower site
A high-rise site in River North or Streeterville has no yard, so the toilets live on the sidewalk under the canopy, in the alley behind the site fence, or on the ground floor slab once the deck is poured. Superintendents usually want a bank of standard units at the ground gate for the trades and a deluxe flushing unit near the office trailer, then add units on upper floors as the building climbs, which we deliver through the hoist on the day it is scheduled. Hotel and office renovations along Michigan Avenue and Ohio Street are the other big source, and those units sit in the loading dock or a corner of the parking garage.
Goose Island and the Clybourn corridor still have industrial yards, which is the one part of the community area where placement is as easy as pointing at a spot of gravel.
Loading docks, one-ways and Lower Wacker
Delivery here is a logistics exercise. Many docks only accept trucks in a booked window, several River North streets are one-way with no truck parking, and the lower-level streets along the river confuse anyone without a routing plan. Our driver books the dock window with the site, comes in before the Michigan Avenue traffic builds, and carries a wheeled dolly for the last hundred feet across a plaza or down a ramp. Anything placed on the public sidewalk or roadway falls under CDOT, and a public-way permit may apply, so the general contractor typically folds the toilet into the site's existing street occupancy permit.
Events from Navy Pier to Old Town
Warm months bring Oak Street Beach volleyball tournaments, festivals beside Navy Pier, church fairs in Old Town and Gold Coast fundraisers under a tent. For those, an organizer calls with the headcount, the venue's rules and the load-in time; we suggest a unit count, add ADA accessible units for any public event, and schedule the drop for the setup morning and the pull for the teardown window.
Luxury restroom trailers are the preferred choice for a Gold Coast garden wedding, parked in the alley or a closed lane with the host's arrangements, and they need a level spot and a standard outlet within reach.
