1224 W Van Buren St

An eight-story, 2007-built condominium in Chicago’s West Loop, this midrise combines concrete loft character with full-service residential conveniences. Units are predominantly two-bedroom lofts and flexible one-bedroom-plus-den plans with very high ceilings (commonly 11–15 feet), large industrial-style windows, hardwood floors, and private balconies. Kitchens typically feature 42" cabinetry, granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, and islands or breakfast bars; many residences include in-unit laundry, generous closets and additional storage cages. The building’s base-level program includes a staffed lobby with doorman, elevator service, a fitness/health facility and a residents’ lounge, plus package and bike storage. Exterior amenities emphasize urban roof-deck access and monitored entry systems; deeded heated garage parking is available and often packaged with units. Management appears investor- and pet-friendly, and the property’s concrete-loft envelope and oversized windows create strong daylight and skyline sightlines. Located steps from Randolph/Fulton Market, the Blue Line and I-290, the building sits in a dense, restaurant-and-retail-rich neighborhood with nearby parks, schools and major grocery options, supporting both daily urban living and short-term rental or investment use.
