Building Spotlight: 40 E Oak

Beverly Hills has Rodeo Drive. Palm Beach has Worth Ave. Chicago has Oak St.

Welcome home to one of Chicago’s best kept secrets, right in plain sight. The only thing more sophisticated than this exclusive address are the neighbors you’ll keep: Tom Ford, Prada, Christian Louboutin, to name a few.

From the moment you approach the building, it’s clear this is no ordinary place to call home. The glamour of Oak Street is undeniable and palatable.

Completed in 1929, this 20-story complex greets you with friendly door staff in an aptly paneled lobby. The history of this Beaux Arts property is evident in every direction. Mirrored elevators and landings, original door hardware, beautiful solid Oak flooring, darling French doors (in select units), and custom built-in closet organizers are just a few of the touches of character still shining through today.

Studios, convertibles, and one-bedroom floor plans are offered on each level–many with views of Oak Street or to the North over other iconic Gold Coast buildings.

– Studios from $1015*
– Convertibles from $1175*
– One Beds from $1265*

As the crown jewel, a nearly 360 degree view of Chicago can be seen from the roof deck, where you’ll easily spot the lake, the Waldorf-Astoria’s purple awnings, the Drake Hotel, Michigan Avenue and more.

Resident’s here enjoy nearly every utility included in the rent: WiFi, cable TV with DVR, heat, water, and scavenger. Electricity with ComEd is the only thing you’ll set up separately!

As an added bonus, the property features an on-site fitness center and laundry, on-site management, and a bike storage room.

Leave your car in the ‘burbs! With a 100 out of 100 walk score, you definitely won’t need it. To the East is beautiful Oak Street Beach and the Magnificent Mile; just to the North is The Triangle with indulgent restaurants like Gibson’s, Maple & Ash, Tavern on Rush, and many others. Plus, convenient Chicago transit is available in every direction.
