When warm weather arrives, residents at The Lofts at River East can head for the sprawling roof deck to hang out, grill a steak, watch a movie in the grassy outdoor theater – or watch the steady stream of pedestrians headed past the building to nearby Navy Pier.
You can see a cold-weather, late-December walk around the roof deck in the above video.
Come spring, residents can stroll along the tree-lined Ogden Slip outside the building to the Starbucks in the on-site Target, and pause for an alfresco drink and a bite at Pinstripes before returning to their loft apartment.
