Ever imagined living in an Art Deco tower just steps from the river?

I recently toured Wacker Place at 65 E. Wacker, a stunning historic building once a hat factory now transformed into 252 modern apartments with quartz finishes, coworking lounges, and a rooftop fire pit overlooking the Chicago River.

With rents starting around $2,195 and 51 affordable homes available, this building captures the essence of Chicago’s evolving downtown.

It’s part of a larger shake-up where 25 office conversions are turning unused spaces into vibrant homes.

The LaSalle Street corridor plan is adding real momentum to this growth, pushing downtown housing forward in exciting ways. Check out this Axios article: https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2024/04/03/lasalle-street-corridor-plan-to-build-more-housing-downtown-advances
