Grand Plaza’s penthouses, located on floors 32 through 37, range from two-bedroom / two-bath homes with 1,230 square feet to three-bedroom / three-bath duplexes with 2,500 square feet. The homes feature large balconies with views of the city and the Chicago River.
All residents at Grand Plaza have access to amenities like a swimming pool, eighth-mile running track, fitness center, business center, Club Nine Lounge, library, media room, 24-hour door staff, and retail tenants including a Grand Plaza market by Jewel/Osco and a Bed Bath & Beyond. The building is surrounded by an array of popular restaurants, shops, and nightlife spots, and is just steps from bus stops and the Red Line.
