1525 S Michigan Ave

A low-rise, four-story loft conversion in Chicago’s South Loop, originally constructed in 1928 and later repurposed from light industrial use into boutique residential units. The masonry-and-timber structure retains historic character through exposed brick walls, heavy timber beams and high, vaulted or cathedral ceilings; many residences feature oversized, floor-to-ceiling windows that admit abundant natural light. Units are laid out as true lofts and penthouses with open floorplans, hardwood or French oak floors, stone or granite counters, modern European-style kitchens, gas fireplaces and generous walk-in closets. Building services include an elevator, secured entry lobby, building-managed common roof deck with panoramic skyline and lake views, additional basement storage lockers, and limited deeded indoor parking available for purchase. Typical in-unit conveniences listed across units include laundry hookups or full washers/dryers, updated HVAC, and remodeled baths with deep soaking tubs or whirlpool features. The property is professionally managed, pet-friendly and benefits from included utilities and association services such as exterior maintenance, landscaping, and snow removal. Situated within walking distance of Soldier Field, the Museum Campus, lakefront parks, transit lines, grocery stores and dining, the building delivers a mix of historic loft aesthetics with upgraded, modern finishes and city-against-lake views for urban living.
