Draper & Kramer Opens Rentals on Gold Coast Lakefront

Draper & Kramer held a grand opening for its 61 Banks Street, an eight-story, 58-unit boutique rental building at Banks Street and Lake Shore Drive, on the last developable lakefront parcel in Gold Coast. The property saw its first move-ins last month.

“It has been three decades since a new residential building opened along this prominent stretch of the Lake Michigan shoreline, so we are tremendously proud to be celebrating the completion of 61 Banks Street – a community that combines the elegance of a Gold Coast address with the flexibility of a rental lifestyle,” said Todd Bancroft, president and CEO of Draper & Kramer.

Among the guests at the grand opening event were representatives from project partners, including architect Booth Hansen, interior architect Darcy Bonner & Associates, landscape architect Jacobs/Ryan and general contractor Leopardo Construction; board members from the Gold Coast Neighbors Association; and current and future residents.

The Connect Apartments Conference will take place June 20, 2019 in Los Angeles. For more information, or to register, click here.
