Loyola University’s Water Tower campus is two blocks from the property and Loyola’s new Quinlan School of Business is directly adjacent to it.

Shopping. Residents of State & Chestnut will enjoy hyper-convenient access to grocery shopping.

There’s a locally-owned Potash Markets outlet a few steps north of the building on State St. Four short blocks south is what Whole Foods bills as its “Gold Coast store” despite its River North location.

A number of convenience stores are nearby and Jewel, Plum Market and a new Target are not far away, as are a number of Walgreens and CVS pharmacies.

Michigan Avenue’s Magnificent Mile shops and Water Tower Place are two short blocks east. Oak Street boutiques are a few blocks to the north. Big-box retail stores abound in the Clybourn Corridor, a mile northwest.

Dining, nightlife. Head south to Chicago Ave and you’ll pass a dicey McDonald’s and the Ralph Lauren restaurant on your way east to Chik-fil-A or the Cheesecake Factory. Just south of Chicago Ave is the thriving River North restaurant and nightlife cluster.

Head north and you’ll navigate one of the densest, most interesting restaurant clusters in Chicago – what some call the Viagra Triangle. Locals just call it “the triangle,” after the shape of Mariano Park.

Just past Mariano Park, from whose shape the triangle derives its moniker, you’ll find Division Street’s dense bar and nightlife scene.

In brief, you’ll find a head-spinning number and variety of restaurants, bars and night spots within a few blocks of State & Chestnut.
