Arrive Streeterville apartments, 333 E Ontario St

(Visited 5,710 times, 1 visits today)

Arrive Streeterville, formerly known as McClurg Court Center, is a two-tower, 45-story, 1,061-unit full-amenity apartment complex at 333 E Ontario St in Streeterville.

McClurg Court was the first new apartment complex built in Streeterville in decades when it was completed in 1971 and it remains the largest. It originally included a 1,000+ seat movie theater that once drew crowds but has since closed. The space has been redeveloped as a Bockwinkel’s grocery.

Jerrold Wexler, who may be best known as actress Daryl Hannah’s stepfather, was the developer. Solomon Cordwell Buenz designed the slender Miesian towers.

The apartments

Arrive Streeterville offers 16 different floor plans of studio, convertible, one- and two-bedroom apartments.

The apartments are typically larger than you’ll find in newer buildings and have window walls that visually expand the space.

Floor plans and near real-time rent and availability info can be accessed online.

Many of the apartments have been updated with new baths and kitchens with stainless steel appliances, new cabinets, granite countertops and stone tile floors.

The buildings’ long-and-narrow configuration lends itself to functional floor plans with lots of windows and minimal loss of space to hallways.

Closet space in most of the floor plans compares very favorably with many of the newer apartment buildings. The units do not have balconies or in-unit washer / dryers. Ceiling heights, lower than today’s new buildings, are typical of the era in which Arrive Streeterville was built.

Furnished short-term rentals in the building are available through Churchill Corporate Housing.

Views. Arrive Streeterville’s website boasts of “spectacular views of downtown, Michigan Avenue, North Shore, and Lake Michigan.” Views from most of the apartments are constrained by neighboring buildings.

Amenities, services, policies

Arrive Streeterville has an extensive amenities suite.


A spacious “cyber café” / business center has multiple seating and work areas, a printer / coper, a large screen TV, and computer workstations.

There’s a large, well-equipped fitness center with a variety of cardio and strength-training equipment.

A yoga studio is adjacent to the fitness center.

There are three rubberized-surface indoor tennis courts that residents can reserve without charge.

A spacious sundeck has a variety of seating areas, tables, trellises, and gas grills. There are several shaded cabanas, but shaded locations are easy to find on the sundeck, given the height of neighboring buildings.

The complex has a very large bike storage room. The laundry rooms include a lounging area.

Arrive Streeterville has heated indoor parking with an on-site car wash service. The garage has wide aisles and a minimal number of levels to traverse compared to neighboring parking ramps.

Arrive Streeterville has on-site leasing, management and maintenance staff, and 24/7 door staff in each tower lobby.

On-site service establishments include Kriser’s Natural Pet, a bank, a 24-hour 7-Eleven convenience store, a dental office, dry cleaners and shoe repair.

One of the towers is slated to begin accepting dogs, subject to limits. Cats are OK, subject to limits.

Many of the local restaurants and night spots cater heavily to hotel guests, tourists and office workers, but you won’t have any trouble finding a go-back-to neighborhood favorite.

Transportation. Access to CTA and Metra train lines is inconvenient from Arrive Streeterville.
