1250 W Van Buren St

A seven-story loft-style condominium built in 1927 and converted into residences, this mid-rise brick warehouse in Chicago’s West Loop preserves industrial character while offering updated systems and common spaces. Units typically feature exposed timber beams, high (10–14 foot) ceilings, large factory-style windows, exposed brick and open floorplans; layouts range from one-bedroom plus den lofts to two-bedroom duplex-style units with lofted sleeping areas. Interiors commonly include hardwood floors, in-unit washer/dryers, gas fireplaces, renovated kitchens with granite or quartz counters and stainless appliances, and walk-in closets or additional built-in storage. The building houses an elevator and a modest lobby, plus shared amenities such as a bike room, storage cages and deeded outdoor or garage parking options for many units; some listings note an outdoor balcony and a communal outdoor grill. Management is professional, pet-friendly, and the association shows strong reserves with occasional deeded parking available for purchase. Located steps from the Blue Line, transit, restaurants on Randolph Street and Fulton Market, the property sits amid shopping, grocery options, parks and medical centers, supporting a lively urban lifestyle with convenient highway access.
