Related Midwest Begins Leasing for Downtown Chicago Residential Tower

Related Midwest announced the start of leasing for the North Tower of 400 Lake Shore Drive, the 72-story residential tower in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood.

Once complete in March 2027, the 857-foot high-rise will deliver 635 rental apartments. “This is more than a residential tower; it is a revitalization of a significant piece of land in Chicago’s history,” said Curt Bailey, President of Related Midwest.

The North Tower comprises two distinct rental offerings: The Collection, spanning floors 3 through 43, and The Residences, occupying floors 46 through 70. The Collection will include 520 residences in a mix of studio, convertible, one- and two-bedroom plans. The Residences will include 115 one- to four-bedroom residences.

“400 Lake Shore Drive brings together everything that is hard to find in one address — new construction with an architectural pedigree, a rare Lake Michigan setting, and elevated interiors and amenities designed for a luxury lifestyle,” said Brad Brondyke, Vice President of Development Sales at Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, the exclusive leasing partner for the property.

Stay ahead of the multifamily market at Connect Apartments. Gain firsthand insights from industry leaders on capital markets, development, operations, financing, and investment trends while expanding your network with the people making deals happen. See you on September 22!
