About the Building

Located at 132 E. Delaware, this residential high-rise in the Gold Coast neighborhood is one of the most striking buildings on the Chicago skyline. Standing at 66 floors at the northern end of Michigan Avenue's Magnificent Mile, this condo building is distinguished by the Bloomingdale's department store at ground level and the four lanterns at the top of the building. The building has multiple uses; beyond the department store, the lower seven stories are occupied with a shopping mall, as well as a Four Seasons Hotel and office space. Only the higher floors are reserved for residential use, but there is still enough room in this skyscraper to fit 107 different units.

The development offers units with a number of different layouts. The various floorplans include anywhere from 1 to 3 bedrooms. Typically, the living rooms are 369 square feet, providing plenty of space to host a Super Bowl party or your child's sleep-over. Although, with second bedrooms being 132 square feet on average, your kids and their little buddies will have enough space to camp out on the floor in their own room if they want.

The units at 132 E. Delaware are very spacious, but sometimes the penthouse itself isn't enough to gain your interest if you're not allowed to bring your beloved pet along to the new abode. Not to worry, this residential building welcomes the four-legged members of the family as well, so start packing up Fluffy's things and picking out the perfect new spot for that paw-print water bowl.
