Homes recently started to close at Six North Michigan, the converted Montgomery Ward catalog center at 6 N Michigan Ave, right across the street from Millennium Park’s Cloud Gate and Pritzker Pavilion. If we can be patient just a little while longer, we can get a look inside the building from top to bottom. @properties agent George Schultz left me a message yesterday saying that crews should have the tower’s lobby and common areas finished and ready for viewing by the end of March.
A little less than 60 percent of Six North Michigan’s 120 homes have sold, Schultz says. The total hasn’t changed much since last September, because Schultz has seen a few old contracts fall off as new ones come in. He sounds pleased with the level of traffic the building’s seeing right now — one home just went under contract and will close later this spring, he says.
By mid-April, all of the units currently under contract except that latest one will have closed, he says.
The remaining mix of floor plans include one-bedrooms starting in the $320s, two-bedrooms priced from the $730s to the $850s, three-bedrooms priced from $1.25 million, and penthouses priced from $1.69 million. In the past we’ve reported unit sizes as ranging from 900 to 4,800 square feet.
On-site amenities include a 24-hour door staff, lounge, an eight-seat movie theater, a fitness room with a sauna and steam room, and a common terrace on the 20th floor.

Any news on whether the developer plans on rebuilding the pyramid rooftop? I heard somewhere that it was being considered.
They are definately not rebuilding the pyramid roof.
valasko is right. The new roof deck precludes the possibility of rebuilding the roof.
In the interest of full disclosure: I will soon be moving into one of the one bedroom plus den units at 6 North Michigan. This rehab has been a long time coming for many people, but I am really excited to be moving in. All of the appliances are top notch and the lobby is stunning. I am definitely looking forward to the opening of the fitness center and media room.
Due to the historic nature of the building, and maintenance of the Art Deco style inside and out, I encourage those that are interested to take a look at the sales center.

Feel free to click on the “Rate and review” link above to post some more thoughts about the building and the reasons why you bought there. We’re always eager to hear from a buyer about his decision-making process — what were your priorities, where else did you look, and what about 6NM made you decide it was the place for you?
First purchasers will indeed have an 8 year tax break due to the building being designated as a historic landmark. Few buildings get this as it is a slow painstaking process to restore the building and do the necessary paperwork required by the state.
As a disclosure I am a sales agent on the project. This is public knowledge.
