1516 S Wabash Ave

An 11-story, early-20th-century loft conversion in Chicago’s South Loop, this building preserves industrial character while offering modern condo living. Constructed in 1920 and reimagined as residential lofts, the property is masonry and concrete-framed with large corner and wall-length windows, exposed brick and visible ductwork that create the classic loft aesthetic. Units are primarily two-bedroom floorplans with high or cathedral ceilings, open living/dining layouts, granite counters, built-in storage and walk-in closets; many homes feature private balconies, fireplaces, and in-unit washers and dryers. The elevator-served common areas include an on-site fitness room, bike storage, additional private storage cages, and a monitored entry system; the association maintains healthy reserves and recent capital work such as elevator and balcony upgrades. Parking is available through deeded or assigned spaces in an attached heated garage (transfer or additional cost applies). The building’s exterior amenities include balcony grilling stations and TV-monitored entry; pet policies are friendly with nearby dog parks noted in the neighborhood. Located within walking distance of Trader Joe’s, Mariano’s, Roosevelt Collection, Grant Park, Museum Campus, Soldier Field and lakefront trails, the property blends loft-style interiors with urban convenience and strong transit access (multiple CTA lines and close expressway access).
