913 W Van Buren St

A seven-story timber loft conversion in Chicago’s West Loop, constructed in 1914 and retaining strong industrial character. The property is configured primarily with one-bedroom lofts and wide studio-style plans that emphasize open layouts, exposed brick, and original heavy timber beams. Typical units feature high, cathedral-like ceilings (often 12 feet or higher), large multi-pane windows, hardwood floors, and built-in storage; many homes include renovated kitchens and baths, walk-in closets, and provisions for in-unit laundry. Common elements include an elevator, shared roof deck with grilling area, and supplemental storage; some residences benefit from private roof rights or duplex penthouse arrangements. Building maintenance and capital improvements have been addressed periodically (masonry and roof work documented), and common assessments commonly cover amenities such as cable/internet. One outdoor parking space is often available or leaseable nearby. The condo association is pet friendly and serves residents who use nearby parks and transit; the block offers immediate access to Mary Bartelme Park, the Blue Line, expressways, restaurants, and the dining and nightlife of Fulton Market and Randolph Row, creating a walkable, urban lifestyle grounded in historic loft aesthetics.
