After two years of being marketed as lab and office space a South Loop warehouse building is now going residential. The six-story building, located on the southeast corner of East 21st Street and Wabash Avenue, hasn’t had a tenant since L’Oreal vacated in 2014.
With a select number of boutique apartments, Sienna Flats offers the luxury of open floor plans and high ceilings. The 50 flats are outfitted with common design features including stainless steel appliances, European-style cabinetry, plank flooring throughout and exposed concrete ceilings. As well, the homes feature walk-in closets and walls of windows.
Despite a recent boom in the construction of new residential towers, it still appears Chicago may be lagging behind other large cities when it comes to new apartments. According to RentCafe’s analysis of the top cities when it comes to the number of new apartments delivered this year, Chicago comes in at number 14 behind such cities as Dallas, Houston, New York and Los Angeles.
While the new mega tower dubbed Vista Tower has been getting a ton of headlines recently, another massive new development is also about to get underway in Chicago soon as well. According to recent reports, developers CMK Companies and Lendlease are planning to break ground next month on Riverline—a massive new project that will bring 3,600 new residences to the South Loop once finished.
One year after releasing a plan for a new luxury West Loop condo building, developers have come out with a new proposal, with few visible changes from the original plan. The project is proposed to go in at 900 W. Washington Boulevard, designed by the architectural firm of Northworks.
The newest riverfront condo project coming to River North now has a name and we’re beginning to learn more details about what it will entail. Officially named Renelle on the River, 403 N Wabash is set to stand 17-stories high with 45 residential units. Priced starting at $1.6 million and going up to $3 million for some of the top penthouse units, the building offers river views, located just steps to the north of Trump Tower.
