Quotes from this article:

The rental building will be the first new construction rental apartment building in Chicago to receive LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] certification by the United States Green Building Council due to its efforts to improve, among other things, internal air quality. As part of our LEED certification, we chose to prohibit smoking and to comply with an Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control prerequisite, as well as offer a healthier living environment for our residents and their guests.
Jennifer Wolf, senior vice president of development for AMLI Residential, developer of the new 24-story AMLI 900, Chicago's first smoke-free apartment building.
