River North’s new Aurélien apartments are a must-see place to be seen

When you visit Aurélien, a 31-story River North luxury tower at 833 N Clark, you’ll enter one of the most welcoming social spaces in downtown Chicago. The lobby lounges are a must-see, a place to be seen, and just one of the reasons for Aurélien’s rapid rent-up.

Aurélien studios rent from $1,875 a month, convertibles from $2,255, one-bedrooms from $2,135, and two-bedrooms, 2-baths from $3,400. Two 2-bedrooms are available at the penthouse level, from $7,070. Three-bedroom penthouses, with 3 or 3 ½ baths, are fully rented. Floor plans and near real-time rent and availability info are online.

Apartments feature kitchens and baths with upscale finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, in-unit washers and dryers, walk-in closets and pre-wiring for high-speed internet and cable. Some of the apartments have private balconies.

Aurélien is bordered by mostly low- and mid-rise development, resulting in good views in all directions from the higher floors.

The extensive amenities at Aurélien span three levels.

The 31st-floor amenities include a resident lounge, a party room with a gaming center, and a fitness center.

There is a rooftop sundeck with outdoor pool, private cabanas, grilling stations and fireplaces.

The fourth-floor terrace features bocce ball courts, grilling stations and fire pits.

The first floor has a library, resident lounge, business center, conference room and a dog run with grooming stations.

There’s a stunning array of restaurants, bars, nightlife and shopping within a short walk of Aurélien, which is close to the Gold Coast, Michigan Avenue’s Magnificent Mile, and Streeterville.

Washington Square Park is a tranquil oasis a short block north of Aurélien.

Aurélien is a few minutes’ walk from the CTA Brown / Purple Line stop at Franklin and Chicago and the Red Line stop at State and Chicago. There’s quick access to I-90/94 and the city’s expressway grid via the nearby Ontario St / Ohio St on / off ramps.

Aurélien has on-site management, maintenance and leasing staff, and 24/7 door staff. On-site parking and storage are available.
