The condominium units will comprise of five different floor plans, comprising of three- and four-bedroom layouts and ranging in size from 2,160 to 3,157 square feet. All of the four-bedroom units will span two floors, and every unit in the building will have access to two separate outdoor spaces. Standard in-unit features include 10-foot ceiling heights, recessed lighting, large offices, a pre-wired central media panel, Bosch kitchen appliances, quartz countertops in both the kitchen and bathrooms, and concrete slab construction between each floor. Penthouse units will have additional features like a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, Sub-Zero and Wolf kitchen appliances, and a thermostat-controlled heated floor in the master bathroom.

The building itself will host a variety of amenities, including a fully-equipped fitness room, a meeting room, and a secure package room. Residents will also find a heated parking garage with electric vehicle charging stations, as well as a bike storage room.
Pricing for a three-bedroom unit begins at $836,900 and $850,900 with a larger 500 square-foot terrace. Four-bedroom units, meanwhile, range from $1,250,900 for an end-unit, $1,325,900 for an end-unit with a 700 square-foot terrace, and $1,660,900 for a duplex penthouse.
According to Crain’s Chicago Business in March, the five most expensive layouts sold so quickly that the design was re-adapted to convert seven mid-sized units into their higher-priced counterparts. The total number of units did not changed with this conversion.

This is a really strong proposal. The design is fantastic, especially the ground level — love those arches!
