A Loft Unlike Any Other
Unit 601 was once the penthouse of this converted loft building — the top floor, with nothing above but sky. When the building later added two floors of concrete construction overhead, this unit gained something rare: the character of a true timber loft with the soundproofing of a concrete high-rise. Combined with a double drywall party wall, it offers a level of quiet and privacy that's nearly impossible to find in a loft building.
As a southeast corner unit, two full walls of oversized 9-foot windows deliver natural light from morning through afternoon, with long views south and east over the West Loop. Soaring 12'9" timber ceilings and exposed brick walls define the space with warmth and scale, while custom automated blackout roller shades let you control it all at the touch of a button. The granite kitchen anchors an open floor plan built for modern living.
What Makes This Unit Special
Southeast Corner Unit
Oversized 9-foot windows on two exposures flood the home with natural light from sunrise through the afternoon. Long, unobstructed views south and east over the neighborhood.
Exceptional Privacy & Quiet
Originally the building's penthouse before two concrete floors were added above. The result: a solid concrete ceiling (no upstairs neighbor noise) plus double drywall barrier to the adjacent unit. Silence you have to experience.
Soaring 12'9" Timber Ceilings
Nearly thirteen feet of authentic heavy timber overhead, paired with exposed brick walls that preserve the character of this converted loft. The warmth, scale, and texture that made West Loop lofts legendary.
Granite Kitchen
Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, quality cabinetry, and the open layout that defines loft living — perfect for entertaining.
In-Unit Washer & Dryer
Full-size washer and dryer inside the unit — no shared laundry rooms, no hauling baskets down the hall. A convenience many loft buildings simply can't offer.
Deeded Parking Spot
One deeded parking space in the building's surface lot is included with the unit — not leased, not assigned, it's yours. A valuable asset in the West Loop.
Automated Blackout Shades
Custom motorized roller shades on every window — blackout for a perfect night's rest, then open them to flood the space with light. Convenience meets comfort.
Panoramic Views
Expansive south and east-facing views stretch across the neighborhood rooftops. Watch the city from a vantage point you won't find in a typical 6th floor unit.
West Loop Location
Steps from Randolph Restaurant Row, Fulton Market, the CTA Green/Pink Lines, and some of Chicago's best dining, shopping, and nightlife. Walk Score 95+.
The #1 Question Every Loft Buyer Asks
“What about the noise?”
Above You
Solid Concrete
Originally the top floor — two concrete floors were built above. Zero footstep noise from upstairs neighbors.
Beside You
Double Drywall
A double drywall party wall separates you from the adjacent unit. Far exceeds standard single-wall construction.
The Result
Near Silence
The soundproofing of a concrete high-rise with the character of an authentic timber loft. You have to experience it.
