Trio apartments, 670 W Wayman St, Fulton River District

(Visited 2,027 times, 1 visits today)

Trio is a 100-unit, 20-story luxury apartment tower at 670 W Wayman St in Chicago’s Fulton River District. The building has a 185-space parking garage.

Trio takes its name from the fact that it’s part of a three-building complex that also includes two 7-story mid-rises. The complex was built as condos, and the tower was converted to rental as a result of a market downturn. Trios of balconies are painted white in a playful allusion to the building’s name. Trio was completed in 2010.

RDM Development developed Trio with Hartshorne Plunkard as the architecture firm.

The apartments

Trio’s unit mix includes 1-bedroom, 1-bedroom plus den / 2-bath, 2-bedroom / 2-bath apartments and 2- and 3-bedroom, 3 bath penthouse duplexes.

Floor plans and near real-time availability information are accessible online.

The apartments have high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors in living areas and carpeted bedrooms. The units have a high level of finishes, including stylish cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, gas ranges, granite counter tops and in-unit washer / dryers. All of the apartments have balconies, most of them very generously-sized.

Most of the kitchens have a one-wall layout that results in limited counter space for food prep.

Bedrooms are small and closet space is limited in a number of the floor plans.

Views. The openness of Trio’s location provides outstanding skyline views to the south and east.

The competition

You might consider condos for rent – they’re occasionally available at lower rents than you’ll find in the rental buildings, in part because they don’t offer comparable amenities packages.
