The West Loop is chalk full of excellent coffee shops, but not all coffee shops are ideal if you’re looking for the best places to work remotely. If you’re looking for places with fast WiFi, ample seating, and quality lattes, here are the best places to work remotely in the West Loop.

Sawada Coffee on Green Street

Sawada is not the place to go if you’re in a rush to get your first caffeine of the day. As arguably the most popular coffee and matcha spot in the city, it’s not uncommon to see a line out the door to the sidewalk– and it’s worth every minute. Sawada’s quality of coffee and matcha is second to none. There’s not much seating in the coffee portion of the building, but just to the left of the coffee bar there’s bleacher style seating with outlets and WiFi, plenty of table seating at the attached Green Street Smoked Meats dining room, and even more seating just out the door in Gin Alley (a hidden cobblestone alley that feels like a place straight out of Europe). If you’re looking to change up your run of the mill coffee house vibes, Sawada is the place to go.

Sawada Coffee on Green Street

Froth

Froth is located near the United Center and Skinner Park in the first floor of The Duncan apartments. Between the excellent lattes, creative menu, and cozy-chic industrial aesthetic, it’s no mystery why Froth is so popular. Thankfully, Froth has tons of indoor seating as well as a spacious outdoor patio to accommodate its high volume of regular customers. Best of all, Froth is dog friendly!

Froth is a pet friendly place to work remotely

“Working From” at The Hoxton

Working From is the designated coworking space at The Hoxton Hotel. You can stop by with a day pass if you’re just looking for a change of scenery (and great unlimited coffee included), or opt for a designated desk or studio if you want to make Working From one of your more regular places to work remotely.

Chicago is full of great coffee shops for every taste. Some are loved for their creative menus, quirky themes, charming ambiance,  or acoustic live music, but if you’re looking for the best places to work remotely in Chicago near River North, these coffee shops are worth checking out. Whether you tend to have trouble finding an open seat, want to find a (somewhat) quiet, work-conducive environment, or want a place where you can really camp out and dig into your work, we’ve got you covered!

If you can never find a seat:

Blue Bottle Coffee at Wolf Point East

The quality of latte at Blue Bottle is second to none, but that’s not what makes it one of the best places to work remotely in Chicago. With so many people working from home or remotely, it can be hard to find a spot at a coffee shop these days. Blue Bottle has ample seating on either side of the cafe area, as well as a reservable private conference room for your in person meetings or if you’re looking for a place to take a Zoom call. Additionally, Blue Bottle Coffee has outdoor seating along the river with some really stunning views of the city (and WiFi, of course).

If you need some peace and quiet:

Nomad River North

At first glance, Nomad may appear to be just a (fantastic) boutique where you can find artisan jewelry and candles, clean beauty products, and cashmere. Once you make your way through the retail space, you’ll find a Parisian inspired cafe with fresh pasties, assorted chocolates, lattes, and matcha drinks. There’s a somewhat private feeling co-working space just to the left of the cafe area. Nomad staff and thoughtfully placed signage encourages customers to be courteous with their volume and it tends to be a relatively quiet place to work. There’s a private conference room off of the co-working space which is reservable in half hour increments if you want a spot all to yourself.

Nomad River North is certainly one of the best places to work remotely in Chicago.

Co-working space at Nomad in River North

If you don’t want to interrupt your flow:

Edie’s All Day Cafe

Edie’s in River North categorizes itself as a “third space”– a place to hang out or work besides home and the office. It makes great use of it’s prime Wells Street space by operating as a coffee and breakfast spot in the morning, a lunch place mid day, and a wine bar in the evening. Signature favorites include the charcoal latte, the pitaya colada smoothie, and truffle flatbread.

The best part– because of Edie’s long hours and all day menu, it’s a great spot to work remotely because unlike many other coffee shops that close at 2 or 3pm, you won’t have to interrupt your work flow mid afternoon to find a new spot. You also won’t need to go far if you feel like a quick lunch break.

Edie’s All Day Cafe is located in the retail space of Marlowe Apartments on Wells Street.

Lakeview is a Chicago neighborhood on the north side, just north of Lincoln Park, beloved for its neighborhood charm. In Lakeview you’ll find quiet, tree lined streets between lively streets like Broadway, Belmont, and Clark, which offer frequent street fairs and are completely lined with dining, comedy clubs, nightlife, quirky boutiques, and coffee shops. Since the majority of Lakeview properties are walk ups, low rises, and stand alone homes, it’s less common to find buildings with the caliber of amenities you might find in the neighborhoods closer to downtown. However, Optima Lakeview is a new luxury rental building offering downtown caliber amenities to the people who want to live in the charming Lakeview neighborhood.

The stunning residences at Optima Lakeview feature modern yet comfortable interior finishes, floor to ceiling windows, premium appliances including full sized washers and dryers, and thoughtful floor plans with ample storage and dedicated work from home spaces.

This 2 bed floor plan features a sprawling private terrace

The amenities are second to none. With a rooftop sky deck, elegant common spaces perfect for lounging or working from home, outdoor pool and hot tub, billiards and gaming room, an expansive dog run, a state of the art fitness center, full sized basketball and pickle ball courts, a golf simulator, yoga classes, a stunning, light filled atrium at the center of the building, and more, Optima Lakeview has it all. Resident services include package receiving, in-home package delivery, grocery and dry-cleaning delivery, housekeeping, pet care, room service style dinner through Pear Chef, social events, moving assistance, towel service in the locker rooms and fitness center, 24/7 maintenance, plant watering, on site massage therapy, 24/7 concierge for booking tickets and reservations, The activities continue beyond the walls of the building, with the lakefront trail, tennis courts, Waveland Park, Wrigley Field (home of the Cubs), and a nine hole golf course all within just a few blocks.

The Southbank development in the South Loop has changed names, hands, and plans over the past few years. With such a prime riverfront parcel and over two acres of park space, it’s easy to see why this land has been in such high demand. What began as one mega-development has now split into two multi-phase developments: the northern portion, Southbank, is being developed by Lendlease and the southern portion is being developed independently by CMK.

In 2018, The Cooper was the first of the residential Southbank buildings delivered. The rental building leased up its luxury apartments quickly and was known for having some of the most creative and useful amenities in the area. The next residential building to pop up at Southbank will be The Reed, a luxury building with condos for sale and state of the art amenities in line with those at The Cooper.

The Reed will feature sprawling outdoor amenity space both inside and outside the building. The outdoor rooftop pool and lounge will be complete with fire pits, serene landscaping, lawn furniture, outdoor event space, grilling spaces, a three season outdoor yoga space, and an outdoor kitchen. When you step outside The Reed, the outdoor amenities will continue with a quarter mile of riverwalk, a two acre park, a river side amphitheater, and a water taxi stop just outside the building.

The state of the art fitness center will feature Peloton bikes, free weights, a yoga studio, and will be maintained diligently with nightly cleanings. Condo owners at The Reed will also enjoy the ample quiet study and co-working spaces as well as the VR sports and media rooms to unwind after a long day of working from home. Other on-site conveniences will include 24 hour door staff, package receiving with cold storage for grocery deliveries, on-site management and maintenance, valet dry-cleaning, garage parking with electric car charging ports, storage lockers, and a bike storage and maintenance room.

Each home will feature modern interiors with soaring ceilings, soft loft accents, top quality appliance packages, and floor-to-ceiling windows for taking in the stunning views of the river, skyline, and Lake Michigan. Owners will have a choice between three different finish packages.

The Reed at Southbank is slated for delivery in 2023. Upon completion, there will be 216 luxury condos. Condos are now for sale at The Reed ranging from $400K-1.4M.

Each unit’s kitchen is equipped with efficient stainless steel appliances, under mount lighting, white quartz countertops, sleek espresso cabinetry, gas ranges, and large kitchen islands. The apartments at Eleven23 Randolph boast thoughtfully designed living spaces, natural light through the oversized windows, full sized in unit washer and dryer, and private balconies with stunning city views. Units are composed of one and two bedroom apartments.

The two bedroom layouts are great for roommates, as each bedroom is a comparable size with its own bathroom. Each 2 bed layout also features an expansive terrace or two smaller balconies, one off of the living space and another off of the primary bedroom. The spa inspired bathrooms come with frameless glass showers, luxe tile, and plenty of storage space.

The location of Eleven23 Randolph is unbeatable. Whether you’re looking to be in the heart of everything, close to conveniences like public transit, parks, and grocery stores, or are looking for a neighborhood feel, this could be the place for you! The stretch of Randolph Street known as “Restaurant Row”, a former meat packing district that is now known for its high density of world renowned restaurants, starts just two blocks east of these apartments. You’ll enjoy being on a more quiet block with coffee shops and smaller restaurants with the option to be in the lively center of the neighborhood within minutes. Head west two blocks and you’ll be at Union Park, a sprawling and well maintained park with tennis courts, a running trail, basketball courts, and wide open green space. Whole Foods and Mariano’s grocery stores, Skinner dog park, the seasonal farmer’s market, as well at the CTA green and blue lines are also within minutes walking distance. McDonald’s international headquarters and Google’s midwest headquarters are two and three blocks away, respectively. Eleven23 is less than a mile to the Loop and Union Station.

There are currently over 2,700 residential units planned for development in the West Loop. What’s even more amazing is that all of this new construction is being absorbed, as the population of the neighborhood has tripled since 2000. If you haven’t noticed, the majority of the latest West Loop developments have addresses all beginning with 160 (i.e 166 N Aberdeen, 160 N Elizabeth, 160 N Morgan, and let’s go ahead and include 170 N Green). While the new development at 906 W Randolph is choosing to use its Randolph Street side address, this site is also currently known as 160 N Peoria. This isn’t just an entertaining coincidence– it’s indicative of the vector of movement in development trends.

A “160” address puts those sites on side streets north of Randolph before Fulton Market, showing that these side streets are a hot commodity with developers, likely for two reasons: the first is the city’s design guidelines. Section 3.4 of the city’s West Loop Design Guidelines state that, “Randolph Street should continue to be developed as a commercial and retail corridor and the existing retail and restaurant character should be preserved. Tall residential buildings located along Randolph Street should be set back towards the center of the block and not front directly on Randolph Street.” This could explain why developers who want their residential developments as close as possible to lively Randolph Street would need to opt for the side streets, but it doesn’t explain why developers are mainly choosing the side streets to the north.

The second reason behind this “160” address pattern, and the reason the side streets to the north specifically have been popular, is zoning. You’d think development would spill onto the side streets south of Randolph, as those are already primarily zoned residential, commercial, and mixed use, while the side streets to the north are largely zoned for industrial space. “Plot” twist– developers are choosing these industrially zoned sites because they have industrial zoning.

In addition to often being less costly, these industrial sites are also popular because of the Fulton Market Innovation District Plan (FMID). The FMID allows for areas that were formerly zoned as industrial to used for more “modern uses” like high end office space, mixed use, and residential developments.The city enacted the FMID at the beginning of 2021 to, “create a more vibrant, pedestrian friendly, and inclusive neighborhood”, likely in response to the area’s booming population. You can read more about the FMID here.

A similar city resolution is what allowed developer, Sterling Bay, to move forward with the Lincoln Yards megadevelopment and developer, Onni Group, to move forward with their massive new proposal near Goose Island along Halsted.

The red outline designates the boundary of the FMID, Courtesy of the City of Chicago

Despite the city’s willingness to allow for zoning changes in some of these industrial areas, the city is still making it clear that certain industrial spaces are off limits to residential developers, for instance, the Kinzie Corridor just northwest of Fulton Market.

As development moves north to Fulton Market, west toward, Ogden, and spills into the FMID designated zones, we wouldn’t be surprised if a few more developments with 160-ish addresses pop onto the map.

Sterling Bay was recently granted city approval for their first primarily residential development in the West Loop, 160 N Morgan. Although Sterling Bay hasn’t done much residentially in the area, they are certainly no strangers the neighborhood and have significantly impacted West Loop real estate through their massive commercial ventures, like the Ace Hotel, office buildings like Fulton West, 333 N Green St, 1000 Fulton (home to the Google midwest headquarters), and most notably, the McDonald’s global headquarters, which they sold for a record breaking $412 million last year. 160 N Morgan is being designed by bKL architecture.

The 29 story high rise will bring 282 luxury apartments and 2000 square feet of commercial space to what is arguably one of the hottest intersections in the West Loop– the corridor of Morgan Street between Fulton Market and Randolph. The new high rise will be at the site of a former bank (turned into Luna Bay Kombucha in the interim) next door to popular Federales restaurant and bar.

Although the composition of units at 160 N Morgan hasn’t been solidified yet, it is currently planned to be a mixture of studio, convertible, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments, with most of those apartments being studios and convertibles. 160 N Morgan will also be a full amenity building with multiple amenity decks, including an expansive common outdoor space on the top floor, a dog run, and more.

Sterling Bay is expected to break ground by the end of this year with a two year approximate timeline for construction.

If you’ve spent time in downtown Chicago’s Loop around the holiday season, you know there’s something undeniably special in the air. November means holiday festivities are ramping up and we couldn’t be happier! Here are some annual favorites to kick off the holiday season.

Thanksgiving Day Parade

Head to State Street in the Loop on November 25th to catch the Thanksgiving Day Parade. This beloved Chicago tradition started in the 1930s to lift spirits at the height of the Great Depression and has been an annual staple ever since! The parade will run 8-11am from Ida B. Wells to Randolph Street. Stick around afterward for performances all day long!

Magnificent Mile Lights Festival

Each year throughout November and December, Michigan Avenue is sprinkled with holiday lights. The annual lights make their first appearance on Friday, November 19th at the Mag Mile Lights Festival, with the lighting of the iconic, towering tree in Millennium Park followed by a ballet performance and fireworks. Stick around the following day where the fun continues with ice skating, photos with Santa, and a live DJ, followed by the Festival of Lights parade that evening.

Christkindl Market

The Christkindl Market, inspired by German tradition, takes place annually at Daley Plaza in the Loop. Peruse handcrafted, specialty goods, start your holiday shopping, and grab a souvenir mug of spiced wine to sip while you wait in line for the beloved annual ornament shop. Christkindl Market will be open November 19th through December 24th.

A foundation permit was issued this fall for a new development at 166 N Aberdeen in the West Loop’s Fulton Market area. This new development will replace the former Fabbri Sausage Factory with luxury apartments and commercial space.

166 N Aberdeen was originally intended to be the second phase of a two building project from developer, MCZ Development. The first was 171 N Aberdeen, an 11 story building with residential units and commercial space below that was completed in 2018. However, according to Multi Housing News, 166 N Aberdeen is now being developed by Greystar and will contain 223 apartments with commercial space below.

Plans show that the units will be a composition of studios, one, two, and three bed apartments with amenities including a fitness center, swimming pool, co-working space, a 14th floor outdoor lounge, and more. Renderings from the project’s architect, Solomon Cordwell Buenz, also show an inset terrace on the 13th floor facing the city skyline.

The west end of Fulton Market has been this year’s hottest area for new construction. 160 N Elizabeth Street just secured financing and will be joining the ranks of other highly anticipated developments like 900 W Randolph and 166 N Aberdeen, as well as Marquette’s Evo and Parq Fulton, both of which are pre-leasing.

The Fulton Market high-rise is being developed by Moceri and Roszak, a developer who is no stranger to the Chicago luxury market and has had multiple successful lease ups in recent years. Parkline, a 213 unit luxury rental building off of Michigan Avenue in the Loop, has been their most recent development and is expected to be sold by next spring.

160 N Elizabeth is expected to house about 375 apartments and 9000 square feet of commercial space. It will include ample outdoor space, both on the sizable amenity deck and for private balconies for many of the units. Although little else is known at the moment about 160 N Elizabeth, we can expect thoughtful design, useful spaces, modern aesthetic, and creative accents if its anything like the rest of Moceri and Roszak’s inventory. 160 N Elizabeth is slated for delivery in the second quarter of 2023 and is expected to be 27 stories upon completion.

741 N Wells is still in early stages, so we’ll keep you posted on any new “developments” with this River North development!

Two new luxury buildings, known as HUGO, are underway at 411 W Chicago and 751 N Hudson. HUGO (a blend of “Hudson” and “Chicago”) is expected to take about 18 months to complete and, between the two 10 story buildings, will feature a total of 227 luxury rental units, retail space, and amenities upon completion.

Each of the two buildings at HUGO will feature its own amenities. Both 751 N Hudson and 411 W Chicago will be equipped with dog runs, bike rooms, work from home pods, conference rooms, multiple common outdoor terraces, outdoor kitchens will grilling stations, 10th floor skyline amenity decks, and of course, state of the art fitness centers in each building. Additionally, each building will also feature its own unique outdoor spaces, with a 2nd floor outdoor pool deck, cabanas, and fire pits in 751 N Hudson and an extra large, landscaped sun deck with lounge chairs in 411 W Chicago. HUGO will also feature a total of over 18,000 square feet of ground level retail, although the specific commercial tenants have not been announced.

This western portion of River North, bordered by Chicago Ave to the north, Grand to the south, Orleans to the east, and the river to the west,  has gained tremendous popularity in recent years. The immediately surrounding area was home to lavish mansions and privately owned condos, but didn’t have much by the way of managed rental buildings until Onni Group’s successful lease up of The Hudson, at 750 N Hudson adjacent to the site of HUGO. With the Groupon headquarters just a few blocks away as well a multitude of other new offices that have recently moved into the area, there has been increased demand for luxury rentals from those who want to live a hop and skip from work. This part of River North is also popular because it has a more quiet, tree-lined, residential neighborhood feel than you would get in the other more lively parts of River North further east. Although quieter, this area still offers the best of River North with excellent restaurants, parks, salons, and coffee shops tucked between each quaint street. It’s no mystery why so many people are eager to call this area home!

Megadevelopments, or grand-scale developments combining residential, commercial, and public use amenity components, have been the trend as of late. One Central is one such megadevelopment in the pipeline with a transit-based focus.

Under current plans from developer, Landmark, One Central will transform about 32 acres of rail yards between the McCormick Place Convention Center and the Museum Campus on the Near South Side into a new neighborhood. According to the Chicago Department of Planning and Development, this “new neighborhood” will consist of high rises totaling 9,050 residential units, 1.5 million square feet of retail space, 9.45 million square feet of office space, 1.5 million square feet of hotel space, 350,000 square feet of event space, and parking, all anchored by a new multi-modal transit hub.

Rendering courtesy of Gensler Architects

In an interview with the Sun Times, Bob Dunn, president of Landmark development, says he looks at the transit hub as “being transformative for the next generation”. He explained that the 3.8 billion dollar transit project would be a game changer in Chicago transportation by connecting the Metra (which mostly services Chicagoland suburban commuters), the CTA (which services neighborhoods of Chicago proper), the Amtrak (which services neighboring suburbs as well as other states), and a new fourth transit line that would connect McCormick Place convention center directly to downtown. Dunn projects this new hub where the four transit lines would converge would eventually serve twice as many people as Union Station currently does and went on to frame One Central as “a civic project” because of all the people it would serve.

Rendering courtesy of Gensler and Landmark Development

A new factor in the equation of One Central is the Chicago Bears’ decision to move their stadium to suburban Arlington Heights from their current stadium at Soldier Field, adjacent to the site of One Central. Although there is hardly any concrete information on what’s to become of Soldier Field, given Dunn’s existing plans for the surrounding area, one can speculate he’ll have a vision for the space.

Onni Group brought its first development to Chicago less than 5 years ago and has already taken the city by storm. From the wildly successful lease up of their first development, The Hudson, in River North, this year’s River North delivery, 369 Grand, and of course the multi-phase three tower development at Old Town Park, it seems that Onni has cracked the code in terms of giving Chicago renters exactly what they want. Hallmarks of Onni’s developments include top tier condo grade finishes and some of the highest quality appliances on the market in every unit, thoughtful amenities like ample work-from-home areas, pet amenities, and 24/7 package receiving, and extra touches of luxury, like spa inspired Himalayan salt saunas, oversized hot tubs, basketball courts, music rooms, sparkling water on tap, grand lobby spaces, herb and produce gardens for residents, and having multiple outdoor pools in a single building so residents can find their own poolside “vibe”.

With all these successful lease ups, Onni is not slowing down anytime soon and has multiple projects in the pipeline. One project that has garnered recent attention is Union, at 354 Union Avenue in Fulton Market. Upon completion, Union will be approximately 400 feet and will offer 373 luxury rentals as well as 143 parking spots. Union is being designed by architecture firm, Pappageorge Haymes.

A rendering of 354 N Union Avenue courtesy of Pappageorge Haymes

The development at 354 N Union Ave broke ground this past April and is expected to take two years to complete. Early sketches and renderings suggest Union will have a host of state of the art amenity spaces, including an expansive outdoor pool deck. The finished high rise is expected to have a sleek, glassy exterior with aluminum balconies and metal accents.

Sketch of third floor amenity space courtesy of Pappageorge Haymes

Like neighboring building, K2 Apartments, Union will have a pedestrian bridge providing direct access to the adjacent Jewel Osco supermarket as well as several other shops in the same plaza including a pet supply store, nail salon, dry cleaner, bank, and more.

In addition to convenient grocery store access, Union will be in an incredibly convenient location overall. With both the highway entrance and the CTA blue line to O’Hare and downtown just two blocks away, lively Fulton Market street just one block away for Chicago’s best dining and nightlife, and ample coffee shops, parks, and boutique fitness studios, the location doesn’t get much better than this.

Fulton Market has been a popular destination for Chicagoans and visitors alike for several years because of its high density of world renowned restaurants, nightlife, and the charming neighborhood feel created by its cobblestone road, low rise brick lofts, and artful nods to its meat packing district roots. However, the past three years have also seen a significant boom in Fulton Market office space development. With numerous high-end office buildings popping up on what seems to be a monthly basis, it makes sense that the demand for residential development has grown in tandem. Between the hot location and Onni’s stellar track record, Union is sure to be a hit!

The west end of Fulton Market has been booming. Since the successful lease up of The Mason, the area nearest Union Park has been in increasingly high demand. Marquette Development has been leading the charge with two new luxury high rises underway in the 1400 block of West Randolph as well as another development in the works at 140 N. Ashland. If you’re looking to live along Union Park steps to the heart of Fulton Market, you’ll want to check out Parq Fulton and Evo luxury apartments.

Parq Fulton, at 1400 W. Randolph, and Evo, at 1454 W. Randolph, are bringing 520 luxury apartments as well as over 10,000 square feet of commercial space to Fulton Market’s west end. The buildings will have a strong focus on wellness, with features and amenities like multiple state of the art fitness centers and a yoga studio. Another stand out amenity at Parq Fulton is the resident dog park, which takes the typical on site dog run to the next level with a full on dog play area. Between the two buildings, the units will be a composition of studio, convertible, one, two, and three bedroom apartments. The majority will have private balconies.

Both Evo and Parq Fulton are slated for completion in February 2022 with pre-leasing already underway.

Evo – Courtesy of Marquette

Both towers are adjacent to Union Park, a 13 acre park where W. Randolph ends. The park offers tennis courts, basketball courts, a trail, and plenty of open green space. With the green line CTA station just a block west of the park and the bustling Fulton Market and Restaurant Row strips just a few blocks to the east, the location is hard to beat. The United Center is also just a five minute walk from Union Park.

There’s the east coast and the west coast, but Chicago is called the “Third Coast” for a reason. Located on Lake Michigan with miles of sprawling (underrated) beaches, vibrant culture, and pretty great cuisine, Chicago offers much of the same appeal as New York and LA but in many ways, is much more livable. If you’re moving from Los Angeles to Chicago, here are some of the key differences you may appreciate!

Walkability

Unlike Los Angeles where each neighborhood is spread out, Chicago neighborhoods change by the block. Shops, restaurants, museums, and parks densely line the streets, making strolling between neighborhoods seamlessly enjoyable.

Pricing

Chicago offers more bang for your buck than Los Angeles, with pricing for luxury apartments with in-unit laundry hovering between $2200-$2800. Chicago also offers great values on properties if you’re looking to buy! Chicago is also conveniently located in the middle of the country which means its easier to transport goods to Chicago than the west coast from most distributors. In turn, this keeps cost of living, from gas prices to cocktails, lower in Chicago.

Transit

You can get within a few blocks of pretty much anywhere with the Chicago transit system. The subway (referred to as the “L” by Chicagoans) has lines running from the Loop (the city’s central business district and epicenter) out in every direction. Bus lines run regularly down most main streets as well. The blue line subway train will take you directly from downtown to inside the terminal if you’re traveling to O’Hare International Airport and want to avoid rush hour traffic (which still pales in comparison to LA traffic).

The West Loop is one of the most dog friendly neighborhoods with dog parks, doggie daycare facilities, pet friendly apartment buildings, pet stores, and pet friendly restaurants galore! Here are some of the most popular doggie daycare facilities in the West Loop!

Tucker Pups Pet Resort

Tucker Pups offers ample outdoor play space, spacious nap time suites, playground equipment, and a swimming pool! If your dog is feeling shy or nervous about their first time away from home, they also offer solo play for an additional cost. Tucker Pups is a neighborhood favorite for doggie daycare, so their daycare is currently on a waitlist. However, you can still book with Tucker Pups for grooming and boarding!

Pet Care Plus

If you want to keep an eye on your furry friend while they’re at doggie daycare, check out Pet Care Plus! They offer live feed video so you can see what your pups are up to! Pet Care Plus is also known for having a stellar pool and convenient pickup and drop-off services.

Happy Trails and Tails

For lower maintenance dogs who just want to run around, Happy Trails and Tails could be the place! They offer a huge outdoor play space and unscheduled play time for the duration of doggie daycare, so if your pup has lots of energy, they’ll have a chance to burn it all off before they come home. There are also open crates and corners in the play space for your dog to retreat to when they want a little break. Happy Trails and Tails is located just off of Fulton Market.

Pooch Hotel

From multiple play spaces, playground equipment, and swimming pools, to webcams and optional nap and snack time breaks, Pooch Hotel really seems to have it all.  If you’re boarding your dog, they offer multiple upgrades, with the top tier boarding suite being a human sized bed complete with a framed picture of the owners on a nightstand. Pooch Hotel is also one of the only facilities to offer 24/7 pickup, so you can access your dog anytime!

Pooch Hotel is located on Monroe, just a few blocks east of Skinner dog park.

At 1,200-plus acres, Lincoln Park is Chicago’s largest public park and the second most-visited park in the United States, behind New York’s Central Park.

Lincoln Park is the neighborhood that stretches along seven miles of Lake Michigan frontage, west of the Chicago River. High-rises with stunning views of the park, its history-rich landscape architecture, and the great lake beyond meld seamlessly with intimate, tree-lined streets thick with single-family Victorians, brownstone flats, and tidy shopping districts.

Here’s what makes Lincoln Park the perfect spot, with the best Chicago has to offer.

Legendary Location

First and foremost, there’s the park — effectively the center of Chicago’s unparalleled public lakefront. Then, you have the neighborhood itself, which puts you within 20 minutes of every pro sports team in the city, plus most of the area’s major concert venues. If you want to escape, O’Hare Airport is a half-hour by car, and neighborhood stops for the CTA’s Brown, Red and, Purple Lines — plus numerous bus routes — make driving less than a necessity.

Top-Tier Dining

From cheap eats for the college kids around the DePaul University campus to some of the finest dining in the world, the Lincoln Park neighborhood covers all the gastronomic bases.

Alinea is routinely rated among the best restaurants in the country, and chef Grant Achatz is a certified culinary superstar. Seamless service delivers beautiful bites, plated and presented in a way that makes a meal — 10 courses? 18? — a bucket list event.

Pequod’s Pizza didn’t climb to the top of the charts for Chicago’s deep dish pizza lovers by accident. Its signature caramelized cheese edge tops the crust like salt on a margarita glass.

North Pond has what might be the most beautiful setting in the city for dining. An arts and crafts stunner that began life in 1912 as a warming shelter for ice skaters, North Pond offers skyline views filtered through the lens of Lincoln Park’s lushest gardens. Commitment to seasonal, locally sourced food of the highest caliber makes this a destination for those special dinners.

Opportunities Abound

Lincoln Park embraces every facet of city life: It’s close enough to the Loop for the nine-to-fivers; offers plenty of housing stock for families and singles alike, and it’s sandwiched between fun and funky Boystown and Old Town. Plus, aside from DePaul lending an academic bent to the area, Lincoln Park High School and nearby Walter Payton College Prep routinely rank among the top 10 public high schools in the state.

After Hours

The venerable Kingston Mines has been dishing up world-class blues since 1968 — making it the longest continuously operating blues club in a city known for electrifying the blues.

Steppenwolf is one of the city’s best-loved theater companies and calls Lincoln Park it’s home.

If you can overlook the fact that it’s a home-away-from-home for fans of all sports Michigan State and Detroit, the Tin Lizzie is a raucously great sports bar.

Plus, if you can get a seat, the J. Parker offers fine cocktails, small plates, and amazing views from the rooftop of the Hotel Lincoln.

Living the Lincoln Park Life

Lincoln Park draws you outdoors — whether it’s to enjoy the park, Lincoln Park Zoo, nearby beaches, or its eminently walkable commercial districts. It’s a neighborhood in which you participate as much as you live, whether your style is a quiet morning walk or dancing the night away.

Downtown Apartment Company can help you find the perfect base camp from which to launch your exploration. Browse our latest Lincoln Park listings here.

Canada based developer, Onni Group, has made a mark on Chicago’s luxury rental market in recent years, namely with their three phase project, Old Town Park. Phases one and two promised to deliver top tier quality, condo-grade rentals, integrated appliances, excellent closet and storage space, and state of the art, resort inspired amenities, unlike any other inventory on the market. They did not disappoint. Therefore, it is no surprise that both towers leased up fairly quickly due to high demand. Fortunately, tower three’s delivery is just around the corner, and we can expect the same level of quality Onni has become known for, in addition to a few other exciting bells and whistles.

Old Town Park Phase 3 ranks as Chicago’s 20th tallest building. Floor plans are a composition of convertibles, 1 beds, 2 beds, 3 beds, penthouses, and townhomes. Old Town Park 3 will also be offering Onni’s signature “flex” layouts, which include an additional fully enclosed den in addition to the number of bedrooms in a unit. With the spike in people working from home, the flex layouts have only grown in popularity at Onni’s other properties, like towers 1 and 2 as well as The Hudson in River North.

Each tower has its own amenities. The amenities in Tower 3 will include an outdoor heated pool with a hot tub, loungers, and daybeds, an indoor spa, steam room, sauna, and oversized jacuzzi, fully landscaped outdoor spaces with fire pits, BBQ stations, and grills, indoor and outdoor multi-sport courts, and a bocce court. Tower 3 will also have its own state of the art fitness center, a yoga and spin studio, and complementary classes, as well as co-working space and a conference room. Additionally, other year round amenities for entertaining include a 2-lane bowling alley, arcade games like ping pong and skee gal, a private dining room and chef’s demonstration kitchen, and the 26h floor covered terrace complete with fireplaces and an outdoor bar.

Gioia Ristorante and Pastificio is one of the newest restaurants opening on Restaurant Row in the West Loop at 1133 W. Randolph St.

Gioia will serve 12 to 15 pastas made fresh daily, featuring both modern, innovative dishes as well as classic regional favorites.

According to a spokesperson for Gioia, Italian native, Comacchio has been visiting Italy regularly and wants to serve what he’s learned back home.

Gioia was slated to open its doors in spring of 2020, but for obvious reasons, that didn’t happen. Signage on their storefront says they expect to open in the coming weeks. Given how great their menu sounds, we can only hope it’s not much longer!

Canada based developer, Onni Group, has quickly dominated the Chicago luxury rental market. Between the successful lease ups of The Hudson in River North, three phase project at Old Town Park, and this year’s delivery at 369 Grand, Onni Group has become known for having the features in their buildings that everyone wishes they thought of. For instance, condo grade finishes in all their rentals, one bed floor plans that include fully enclosed dens and second bathrooms, convertibles that have balconies, divisible common co-working space before it was cool, and hot tubs that are big enough for multiple people to enjoy comfortably at the same time.

Rendering of Halsted Point, all images courtesy of Onni Group

Under the current proposal Halsted Point would bring five towers for a total of 2650 new apartments, hotel rooms, office space, retail, and even a grocery store, to a stretch of Halsted that has, until now, been primarily industrial.

Plans also include public amenity and green spaces along the river as well as between the towers.

This stretch of Halsted, known as Goose Island, is the connector between River West to the west, River North to the east, Old Town to the north, and West Loop to the south. Just a few minute walk to the heart of each neighborhood, but on a quiet strip, itself, residents who eventually live in these new units will have arguably, one of the most desirable residential locations in the city.

As it stands, Halsted Point will likely around 10 years to complete. Due to the size, scale, and lack of other development in the immediate area, Onni Group’s new development could effectively, create a new neighborhood. Although Halsted Point is yet to receive zoning approval, it seems to have the emphatic support of the area’s alderman. “When I was kid, growing up right over the bridge from, here we used to call this area ghost town,” said Alderman Burnett at a community meeting via Zoom. “Now this area is very vibrant. We’re allowing for some residential [development], some new infrastructure is getting built, and the riverwalk is getting enhanced. A lot of great things are happening.”

Halsted Point comes in a string of mega-developments that aim to make good use of the riverfront. Southbank, The 76, and Lincoln Yards are also massive scale projects along the river with similar compositions of residential units, commercial space, and public amenities.

The seven story apartment building is being developed by Lipe Property Company and designed by Pappageorge Haymes Partners.

River West has been booming, with total deliveries of nearly 1000 new rental units over the past couple years. Nevele22 will be next to join the ranks alongside Spoke, Linkt, Avenir, and Westerly.

Long standing breakfast spot, Windy City Cafe, Chicago’s smallest bar, Matchbox, and the Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art all help keep the neighborhood-y character as these great new additions pop up. Nevele22 will be 3 blocks from the expressway, one block from the CTA blue line train to downtown and O’Hare International Airport, a short walk to both River North and West Loop (hence: “River West”), and right along Milwaukee Avenue, affectionately known as “Hipster Highway” because of its generously sized bike lanes that lead directly into downtown.

Developer, R2, recently proposed a new development that would bring office, entertainment, retail, and dining space, as well as over 500 feet of  new riverfront space to the Morton Salt warehouse site. Upon approval for a zoning change from warehouse to commercial of what’s been dubbed the “Salt District”, R2 will also seek landmark status. R2 plans on keeping the famous “Morton Salt Umbrella Girl” sign, which is visible from the expressway.

Courtesy of R2

R2 purchased the site at 1357 N. Elston in 2017, roughly two years after Morton closed down their factory after 86 years of use. The public sentiment seems to be overwhelmingly popular, with the project bringing hundreds of jobs and public green space to an area that has been out of use for several years.

The Morton Salt warehouse is located in a prime location along the north branch of the river in Lincoln Park. This 760 acre corridor of Lincoln Park and the Near North Side has been known for housing industrial sites, until the city changed its zoning to allow for (and encourage) other mixed use development in this “North Branch” corridor.

Among other office and public recreation developments underway in the area, Sterling Bay announced it’s plans for Lincoln Yards, a mega development bounded by the Kennedy Expressway to the west, Webster Ave to the north, Clybourn Ave to the east, and North Ave to the south. Plans for the massive Lincoln Yards development include public riverfront space, residential, office, retail, and hospitality space, bike paths, art installations, and other recreation space. This stretch of Lincoln Park has only grown in popularity with developers.

The video above is an overview of the neighboring Lincoln Yards mega development. See the gallery below for renderings of R2’s proposed Morton Salt redevelopment.

Chef Curtis Duffy is a Michelin three starred Chicago chef known for Randolph Street’s ‘Grace’, which closed its doors in 2017. After three years in the works, Duffy and his business partner, Michael Muser, opened their new Fulton Market restaurant, Ever, in July. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions and supply chain obstacles, Ever has pivoted into a new temporary concept called ‘Reve Burger’.

Ever started as a high end, contemporary concept with an 8-10 course tasting menu (starting at $285 per person) featuring seafood, seasonal vegetables, nuts, meats, seeds, and grains. The original menu consisted of ingredients like squab with guajillo, raspberry, and sorrel, hoja santa (also known as “root beer leaf”), and an earthy-looking wagyu beef with sunchoke, orange, and tat soi. However, COVID has made sourcing many of these ingredients much more difficult than usual. Between these supply chain obstacles and COVID-19 indoor dining restrictions, the restaurant’s offerings have changed considerably for the time being.

Ever’s Fulton Market space is currently being used for Reve, Duffy and Muser’s carryout concept. In addition to being “Ever” spelled backward, “Reve” also means “dream” in French. Reve offers gourmet burgers and American fare for delivery and pick up. The standard “Reve burger” consists of two, four-ounce beef patties, a few slices of American cheese, plus Vienna dill pickles, and special sauce between a brioche bun from Highland Baking Co, served with shoestring fries that supposedly get crunchier after they’re reheated. Reve chef du cuisine, Jason Selk, got his chops working at Culver’s in Wisconsin. Selk hopes eating the delicious burgers from Reve will invoke a feeling of nostalgia for the consumer.

It’s been one year since Downtown Apartment Company opened its new River North Office. (Of course, working from home wasn’t how we expected to spend it.) The office was thoughtfully curated with unique features and plenty of individual spaces, and rings true to the DAC slogan, “Choose Wisely. Live Stylishly.”

Upon entering DAC’s two level River North office, you’ll step into a two seat lounge-style lobby area.

Up the steps to the right sits the crowned jewel of the office– the conference room. The long table with regal chairs and furniture, quartz and crystal coasters and accents, and last but not least, the faux living green wall, are just some of the attributes that make this room feel special. Even when the office lights are turned off at the end of the day, the illuminated Downtown Apartment Company logo shines from the glassy conference room.

As you move through the rest of the ground level, you’ll see an open layout of work space with sleek white desks. The high ceilings and towering cathedral style windows allow for abundant natural light in this area.

Our office is located in River North’s acclaimed gallery district. In keeping with that theme, our office is full of inspired artwork and artisan pieces. On your way down the stairs to the ground level you’ll notice a collection of artwork on the wall that spans both levels. Each piece of artwork correlates with a meaning and a playlist that ties together the fun shui of the office.

The lower level is complete with a spacious training room, an “instagram worthy” seating space, a large lounge area, and a kitchenette with four glass seating tables.

The crystal accents throughout the office were chosen for the properties they represent: Amethyst for the protection and prosperity it brings, agate for harmony and equilibrium, selenite for fluidity and honesty, rose quartz for agreement and resolution, and smoky quartz for vitality and balance.
