780 S Federal St

A 12-story, early 20th-century elevator condominium in Chicago’s Printers Row, completed in 1913 and converted to residential use, offering primarily studios and one-bedroom homes. The building retains historic character with high and cathedral ceilings, large windows and built-in bookcases while modernized interiors commonly include hardwood floors, granite counters, updated kitchens and walk-in closets. Common areas support daily needs: a staffed lobby, fitness room, laundry facilities, storage lockers, bike room and receiving/dry-cleaner services; some residences have pantry space and den nooks. On-site management and an engineer oversee building operations; parking is available through an attached heated garage or nearby leased spaces. Pet-friendly policies, storage units on select floors, and provisions for in-unit washer/dryer hookups in many units add flexibility. Located steps from transit, the Loop, Grant Park and the lakefront, the building sits in a walkable neighborhood defined by museums, restaurants, grocery options and cultural institutions, blending historic architecture with retrofit conveniences for urban living.
