860 N Lake Shore Dr

A landmark midcentury high-rise on Chicago’s lakefront, completed in 1951 and rising 26 stories, the property reflects Mies van der Rohe’s glass-and-steel modernist aesthetic. Units are primarily one- to three-bedroom cooperatives, many with floor-to-ceiling windows and open plans that emphasize views and natural light. Interiors range from largely original kitchens and baths to fully renovated designer homes featuring hardwood or slate floors, granite or stone counters, and updated mechanical systems. Common areas and services include a staffed lobby with 24-hour door personnel, elevators, fitness and laundry rooms, bike storage, conference/party space, and on-site management; deeded or in-building parking is available for an extra charge. Storage lockers and generous built-in cabinetry appear frequently in select residences, and some duplexes and architect-designed units introduce sculptural elements and custom materials. The building’s assessment typically bundles taxes and many utilities, and financing is allowed for qualified buyers. Located in Streeterville along Lake Shore Drive, it places residents steps from beaches, Michigan Avenue shopping, cultural institutions, hospitals, and public transit, supporting an active, walkable urban lifestyle.
