New Apartment Buildings In Chicago – 2021

West Loop New Apartments that Hybridize Live, Work & Play into One Stunning Package

Milieu Apartments

A famous park located right across the street. The boutique shopping scene along W Madison St only 2 blocks away. The Loop is to the east and the United Center is a few minutes to the west. Yes, the West Loop location is the first thing to grab attention about the new luxury apartment building Milieu, but it’s hardly the last thing to note. The building has an outdoor dog run, high-end amenities like rental bikes and other assorted sports equipment available to check out. Meanwhile, the units are finished with light wooden cabinets and hardwood flooring for a premium feeling throughout.

A New Type of Printer’s Row Apartment for Renters

Imprint Apartments 

The Printer’s Row neighborhood is sandwiched in between two of the hottest areas of Chicago that have received lots of fanfare for several high profile new luxury apartment buildings in recent years.

The building is packed with first-class amenities like an outdoor yoga studio, private dog run and a 24-hour doorman. Look to these new apartments to be the standard bearer for high-rise apartment living in Printer’s Row for years to come.

A Skyscraper That’s Redefining South Loop Renting

NEMA Chicago

If you’re thinking, “Hey, hasn’t this site covered this South Loop giant previously?” Yes, you’re on the right track. Whether discussing the building’s awesome height, the dazzling array of amenities, or its impressive Lake Michigan and city views, there’s a wealth of interest in this new apartment building. Perhaps because it’s proving to be such a game changer. And it’s only getting started.

With easy access to the lakefront, Lake Shore Drive and public transit, the location is a no-brainer for anyone who’s been searching for a perfect Lakeview apartment without compromising on the quality. While most of the city’s recent new apartment building boom has been concentrated in and around downtown, Four50 Belmont is the exceptional case that proves high-amenity living needn’t be confined to the central neighborhoods of Chicago.

River North Apartments Bring a New Outlook to the Neighborhood

The Ardus

Renters at this brand new River North apartment building can treat themselves to stellar views at any time of day or night by heading up to the plush rooftop lounge, but the views inside these chic downtown lofts shouldn’t be overlooked.

New Ravenswood Apartments Arrive to Meet Increased Rental Demand in 2021

The Henry Apartments

Ravenswood apartments are in high demand among renters in 2020. Why? It might be due to the accessibility of this neighborhood, which boasts several CTA Brown line stations as well as a Metra UP-N station for commuters, combined with its relative affordability. Renters love the tranquility of Ravenswood’s leafy neighborhood streets and the view from The Henry’s floor-to-ceiling windows lets renters feel like they’re resting comfortably among all those treetops without ever having to set foot outside their apartments.
