In 1917, architect O.C. Uehling designed the Phoenix Knitting Company Plant #4 to house Phoenix’s dyeing, washing, and knitting operations. Renovated and renamed the Phoenix Building in 1980, this seven-story building is home to a series of commercial tenants.

In September 2013, Badger Investments (brothers Jim and Michael Swernoff) acquired the building from Phoenix Building, LLC (Weingrod family).

A second Phoenix building, 318 E. Chicago St., is located immediately south of the Phoenix Building.
