Completed in 1929 and occupying 37 stories, the Palmolive Building is a landmark Art Deco residential tower on Chicago’s Gold Coast. Its exterior is distinguished by classic 1920s massing and refined vertical ornamentation; interiors reflect historic detailing combined with modern updates. Residences are large-format condominiums and half- or full-floor layouts, typically with 3–4 bedroom plans, high ceilings (often near ten feet), expansive windows, hardwood or herringbone floors, and rich millwork including bookcases, crown molding, and custom cabinetry. Apartment features commonly include formal living and dining rooms, private foyers or vestibules, chef-caliber kitchens with premium appliances, multiple walk-in closets, in-unit laundry rooms, and spa-style primary baths. Common areas emphasize full-service hospitality: a 24-hour doorman, concierge and on-site management/engineer, private elevator access to some units, and a staffed valet garage. Building amenities cater to wellbeing and entertaining with a fitness facility, whirlpool/steam rooms, sauna, Beacon Club event space and theater-style or multiuse rooms. The property allows secure storage, generous service staff, and typically includes one or two valet parking spaces per residence. Located steps from the Magnificent Mile, Oak Street Beach and top dining and shopping, the Palmolive combines historic architecture with white-glove services for an address that remains among Chicago’s most prestigious urban living locations.
