About this property
Eighty-Seven Stories Above Lakeshore East
Eighty-seven stories rise from the edge of Lakeshore East, the 28-acre parkside community where the Chicago River bends toward the lake, a few blocks from Millennium Park and the Loop's business core. Finished in 2009, the tower holds 474 apartments over a doorman lobby, with bike storage, a parking garage, and a resident lounge built into its base. Upstairs, a sundeck, hot tub, sauna, and basketball court share the pool deck — an unusual combination for a single amenity floor. Grilling stations and a co-working lounge round out the offering. Errands, transit, and the lakefront path are close enough that most residents leave the car behind; cats and dogs are both welcome. Chicago apartments this connected to downtown, at this scale, are rare.
