Rarely available, southeast corner Olympia Centre condo with unobstructed views of the lake and city.

Through the updated galley kitchen with its white shaker cabinets, sleek black hardware, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and under counter wine fridge, you will enter your living and dining area with dramatic and jaw-dropping panoramic views of the lake, Navy Pier, and many iconic Chicago buildings, such as the St. Regis and The Allerton Hotel. The primary bedroom is an oasis, offering a stunning view of Lake Michigan, a spacious walk-in closet, and a primary bathroom suite featuring a separate soaking tub and shower. The second bedroom serves well as an office or guest room with an inspiring view of downtown Chicago.

Enjoy building amenities such as an indoor pool, fitness center, event room, and roof deck, perfect for viewing Navy Pier fireworks and the Air and Water Show. The 24/7 door staff is world-class, providing treatment akin to what one would expect at a five-star hotel, and is considered a benchmark for elite co-ops and condos throughout the city.
