A seven-story early-20th-century loft building in Streeterville, completed in 1912 and converted to residential use with primarily two-bedroom lofts. The architecture preserves industrial character: exposed brick walls, heavy timber beams, and oversized windows that create high, light-filled interiors often with cathedral or 12-foot ceilings. Typical units include open-plan living areas, walk-in closets, generous storage, and options for first-floor bedroom and bath configurations; some residences have penthouse-level ceiling heights, skylights and traditional fireplaces. Common areas are focused on communal urban living — a monitored entry with 24-hour door staff, elevator access, bike room, additional storage rooms, and a fitness room. The roof deck is a prominent exterior amenity, fitted with grills and seating and offering skyline and lake/Navy Pier views. Support services include on-site management and leased garage parking; building rules limit certain pets and smoking, and rentals may be subject to caps. The location places residents steps from Ohio Street Beach, Lake Michigan, Michigan Avenue, Navy Pier and public transit, anchoring a walkable, amenity-rich Streeterville lifestyle.
