A look at Sky55’s views, amenities and finishes

Sky55, 1255 S Michigan Ave, Chicago

In our visit to Sky55 Wednesday, Joe and I got a peek at some of the apartment building’s amenities, and it’s easy to see how one could be wooed by them. The large seventh-story outdoor terrace houses a rooftop pool that was pretty busy even at 3 p.m. on a weekday. The building also has a large cardio room, a media room with theater seating for ten people, and concierge services such as on-site auto detailing and dog walking and grooming.

Sky55, 1255 S Michigan Ave, ChicagoAll Sky55’s 411 units come with hardwood floors, stainless-steel appliances, and granite countertops, with upgrades available in its “Signature”- and “Penthouse”-level units. In all, the building offers 26 different floor plans.

As you’ll see the the panorama above, this building has some pretty stellar views, even from its lower units. The most sought after apartments have northern views of downtown, Grant Park and the lake, but even the views to the southeast and south were decent, with sightlines to the lake, Soldier Field, and even U.S. Cellular Field. And you likely won’t have to worry about another high-rise going up and blocking those views anytime soon.

One-bedroom / one-baths, which range from 656 to 1,114 square feet, are priced from $1,553 to $2,351 per month. One-bedroom / 1.5-baths are at $2,144 to $2,398 per month.

Two-bedroom / two-baths that span from 923 to 1,247 square feet are priced from $1,995 to $2,772 per month. Two-bedroom / 2.5-baths range from $3,306 to $3,416 per month.

Penthouse units, which comprise the building’s top three floors, have sizes ranging from 769 to 1,785 square feet and are priced from $2,165 to $4,614 per month.
