161 E Chicago Ave

A full-service, 63-story residential high-rise completed in 1985, this condominium tower occupies a prominent Streeterville location just off Michigan Avenue and the lakefront. Residences range from studios to three-bedroom layouts, including large corner units and several duplex and penthouse configurations; floorplans commonly emphasize open living and formal entertaining spaces, gallery-style entries, and generous storage. Interiors showcase a mix of traditional and renovated finishes — hardwood or marble floors, custom millwork, built-in cabinetry, eat-in kitchens with high-end appliances in renovated units, and features such as walk-in closets, wet bars, and in-unit laundry in many homes. The building’s public areas support a full-service lifestyle: 24-hour concierge and doorman staff, a staffed lobby, on-site retail and restaurant space, and private storage lockers for residents. Health and leisure facilities are extensive and include two fitness centers, sauna and whirlpool facilities, an indoor swimming pool, party/entertaining rooms, and roof-deck spaces with city and lake vistas. Security is robust with monitored entry and dedicated door staff; parking is available for lease in a heated garage. Pet-friendly policies apply. The location places residents within immediate walking distance of the Magnificent Mile, lakeside parks, cultural amenities, shopping, and dining, making it a highly walkable, urban lifestyle address.
