Tandem Lofts is a six-story, early-20th-century loft-style condominium in Chicago’s South Loop, built in 1920 and converted to residential use. The boutique elevator building contains primarily one-bedroom loft units characterized by high ceilings, large windows, exposed brick, and open floor plans that emphasize volume and light. Typical interiors include chef-ready kitchens with granite counters and islands, built-in bookcases and storage, walk-in closets, and in-unit washer/dryer hookups; select units feature cathedral or double-height ceilings and gas-burning fireplaces. Common spaces are modest but practical: a staffed lobby, monitored entry, bike storage, additional storage lockers or cages, and a dog run for residents. Exterior features include private balconies on many units and street-level access to neighborhood amenities. Parking is available in an attached heated garage with deeded or rentable spots; some listings show parking included in price or sold separately. The association appears professionally managed with a stable reserve and a pet-friendly policy. Located within walking distance of the lakefront, Museum Campus, public transit, grocery stores, restaurants, and Fred Anderson Dog Park, the building supports an active urban lifestyle that blends vintage industrial character with contemporary conveniences.
