Interior features found across the building include nine-foot ceilings, open floorplans or defined dining areas, in-unit laundry hookups, built-in storage and first-floor bedroom options in select homes. Shared amenities emphasize resident convenience and recreation: a fitness center, large party room with kitchen, sun deck and roof grilling area, dog run, bike room, storage cages, and on-site management. Outdoor living is supported by private balconies on many units plus a communal sundeck with lake and park views from higher floors. Parking is available via deeded garage spaces (separate cost), and the building accommodates pets. Located directly on Michigan Avenue adjacent to Grant Park and the lakefront, the property places cultural institutions, museums, transit (CTA and Metra) and Michigan Avenue retail within easy walking distance, making it a full-amenity urban residence oriented to city- and waterfront-facing lifestyles.
