The amenities are in the living space at Chicago’s 235 Van Buren

That’s Brad Butler’s take on the new home he and his life partner bought at 235 Van Buren in Chicago’s Loop.

Butler previously lived in an amenity-rich building at Lakeshore East and looked at many other properties before settling on 235 Van Buren. He opted for lower assessments, noting that common area amenities such as pools are often unused.
