Mid-rise buildings have traditionally never been too long on style. With The Lofts at Roosevelt Collection, buyers aren’t just getting a compelling contemporary design from architect Hirsch Associates, they’re practically getting a whole new neighborhood. The Centrum Properties project is the first phase of a 1.2 million-square-foot enclave of residential and retail development along Roosevelt Road, between Clark and Wells streets, in the South Loop.
The 342-unit Lofts is comprised of two eight-story buildings surrounding an open-air plaza and pedestrian mall. A new two-acre public park will be the site of year-round concerts, art fairs and farmers’ markets, and 400,000 square feet of retail space will include a 16-screen movie theatre, dozens of shops, restaurants and cafés, a health club and a specialty grocer. Residents also will have access to private amenities like 24-hour door staff, a fitness center, a business center and a rooftop deck.
Inside, the one- and two-bedroom condos will highlight contemporary design by Cecconi Simone and lofty features like floor-to-ceiling windows and exposed ductwork.
If one should have to travel to the outside world, the Loop, the financial district, Grant Park, the Museum Campus, the expressways and the el are all nearby. And, of course, the greater South Loop is exploding with growth all around the Roosevelt Collection.
Prices at The Lofts at Roosevelt Collection range from the $270s to the $650s.
