We like to watch: Views of the South Loop and beyond from Michigan Avenue Tower II

I finally worked my way into a few condos at Russland Capital Group’s Michigan Avenue Tower II, located at 1400 S Michigan Ave, and came back with some pricing info and interior shots. You’ll get all that a little later, but for now, soak in the sights of a cloudy afternoon in the South Loop!

Those of you who took an interest in Mark’s recent Coliseum Park update will want to click the image above. I wasn’t paying close attention at the time I shot it, but you can see a clear difference between the new building (fronting Wabash Avenue) and the old one (sandwiched between it and the elevated tracks to the west).

South-facing units halfway up the 28-story building have a clear view of the lake to the southeast, thanks to the low profile of the 1500 blocks of Michigan and Indiana avenues. You can still see a sliver of lake from as low as the seventh floor if you have an east-facing unit. Northwest-corner homes on that level have Juliet balconies overlooking Michigan Avenue, providing sightlines all the way down 14th Street to the Museum Campus (bottom left).

Great pictures of the South Loop. Brings in a lot of nostalgia.

I remember touring the building and seeing a supersmall “gym” in a windowless room downstairs. It felt like the developer definitely took some shortcuts.
