Women's social club The Wing releases renderings of Chicago location

The Wing, a "women-focused" social club known for cameos by A-listers the likes of Hillary Clinton and Jennifer Lopez, has released renderings for its upcoming Fulton Market District location.

The club chose to set up shop in Chicago's West Loop based on feedback from prospective members, and an eye on a space that could be transformed into the Wing's signature aesthetic: airy spaces, midcentury modern furniture in pastel hues and rainbow-ordered libraries.

"Our development and new space teams always look for spaces that will really allow us to spread our wings in terms of design and architecture and really allow us to do what we want," said Zara Rahim, senior director of strategic communications at The Wing.

The 9,000-square-foot space will feature a main coworking room, a beauty room, a lactation room, a quiet room and a cafe stocked with food and drinks from local women-owned or co-owned businesses.

The Wing first made headlines in Chicago when Mayor Rahm Emanuel sent a letter to founders Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan asking them to open a location in the Windy City. At the time, a Chicago location already was being scouted, but Gelman told the Sun-Times the letter made plans "much more gung-ho."

Like women in New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., Chicago members can expect to pay $215 per month for one location or $250 per month for access to all Wing locations.
