Trump Trump Trump Trump…that is all Chicago is talking about. Then there is the occasional article about the Spire…then we might hear about Waterview, Perhaps the new Ritz Carlton project…but why is there not more talk about the Aqua? You may remember it from the news when the Fairmont group backed out of their hotel plans in the Aqua but besides that no one has been speaking a word about this soon to be occupied Chicago gem.
The Aqua will house both Condos and Apartments along with a soon to be named hotel. Pre-Leasing has already begun for the apartments and it appears that move in will be this May. The Aqua is the building below that has those strange looking balconies. Each balcony will be unique says the developer…not a single one will be like any other.
The amenities of this building can easily start to compete with the best of Chicago and will probably win. The two floor shore club for Aqua residents boasts 3 Pools, Sky Lounge, Outdoor Garden with Grills, Cabanas, Fire Pits, Walking/Jogging Paths and much more. In total, the outdoor recreation deck will be the largest out of any building in Chicago. The Fitness center will be the most expansive in the Lake Shore East neighborhood. The building will also boast 24hr Doorman, Party/Billards Room, Yoga Rooms, Business Center, WiFi internet access, Bike Storage, Hot Tubs, Library, Coffee Bar & Lounge, On-Site Dry Cleaners…the list goes on.
The interior features are lush as well featuring Grohe faucets, Snaidero cabinetry, Bamboo flooring, Floor to Ceiling Windows, Limestone in all Baths…again the list goes on. The views from the Aqua are incredible as well allowing you to see the Lake, Millenium Park, Lake Shore East Park and of course the amazing Chicago Skyline.
With all this being said, I wonder why more people are not talking about this building. I have spoken with several people who have purchased units in the Aqua and they all cannot wait to move in. I think they believe they are moving out of the country because all they talk about is sitting by the pool on their cabanas, reading a book and having a drink. Perhaps when their mortgage statement arrives they will awake back to reality. However, even then they will know they are living one step closer to paradise.
So how much does the Aqua cost? Well, here is the break down if you plan to purchase a condo in Chicago’s newest gem.
