The Donohue is a landmark 10-story brick-and-concrete loft conversion in Chicago's Printers Row, originally built in 1883 and later adapted for residential live/work use. Units are primarily two-bedroom lofts and expansive one- to three-bedroom layouts characterized by very high ceilings (often 10–14+ feet), oversized industrial windows, exposed brick and concrete, original timber and masonry details, and built-in bookcases and millwork that reference the building's printing-press past. Interiors commonly feature open floorplans that can be adapted to separate bedrooms or offices, restored hardwood or concrete floors, updated kitchens with high-end appliances, in-unit laundry hookups, and generous storage or private lockers. Common-area amenities are modestly upscale: a vintage birdcage elevator, roof deck, fitness room, bike storage, and secure entry with fob/keypad systems; some units enjoy private roof rights or deeded garage spaces available separately. The association is professionally managed with healthy reserves and allows investors and pets; leased or deeded parking is available nearby. Located on tree-lined streets of Printer’s Row, the building sits steps from CTA service, local grocery and retail, cultural institutions, lakefront parks, and a strong retail/dining scene, supporting both pedestrian and transit-oriented urban lifestyles.
