The Reed is a 41-story, newly built condominium tower completed in 2023 on Chicago’s Southbank riverfront. Designed by Perkins + Will and developed by Lendlease, the building presents an industrial-modern character that references the nearby Printer’s Row district. Residences include one- to three-bedroom floorplans with nine-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, wide-plank hardwood floors, open layouts, walk-in closets, and in-unit laundry hook-ups. Kitchens are specified with European-style cabinetry, quartz counters, tile backsplashes and Bosch panel appliances; many units feature concrete ceilings and private balconies. Common interior spaces are full-service and focused on daily convenience and wellness: a staffed lobby and 24-hour door team, multiple lounges, private co-working and study rooms, strength and motion studios, yoga space, massage room, salon, interactive media and VR sports rooms, and a dedicated fitness club with an outdoor terrace. Outdoors the property opens directly to the Riverwalk and over two acres of riverfront park; building amenities include a large outdoor amenity deck of roughly 15,000 square feet with an in-ground pool, cabanas, patio lounges with fire pits, open-air kitchen and grilling areas. Secure indoor garage parking is available for purchase; building systems emphasize sustainability and the project is LEED certified. Pet and specific service policies vary by unit/HOA; the overall setting places residents steps from downtown dining, transit access and cultural venues in a rapidly developing neighborhood.
