Optima Launches Leasing Gallery at North Shore Luxury Rentals

Optima, Inc. has opened its on-site leasing gallery at Optima Verdana, the company’s latest luxury rental community located in downtown Wilmette, IL on Chicago’s North Shore. The community will open to residents in July, and is already more than 30% leased before opening its doors to walk-ins and prospective residents on May 17. 

Designed by Optima CEO and founder David Hovey Sr., Optima Verdana comprises 100 one-, two- and three-bedroom and penthouse residences with monthly rents ranging from $2,950 to nearly $12,000. 

“There is a major trend at play with those looking to downsize from their single-family homes in favor of the luxury and convenience of the Optima rental lifestyle,” said Hovey. “We’re excited to be able to offer prospective residents a chance to enjoy the community’s unmatched location, services and amenities, and to be able to meet the pent-up demand for large, well-appointed apartment homes.” 

Meet industry experts at the upcoming Connect Midwest: Multifamily and Adaptive Reuse Trends, which takes place June 13, 2023 at the W Chicago City Center Hotel. Click here for more information and to register.
