Astoria Tower

Chicago’s South Loop area will be the site of Astoria Tower, a 30-story condo residence in a traditional, art deco style in brick and cast stone. Outwardly the building is reminiscent of the Chrysler Building – but with spacious terraces and modern amenities to support today’s busy, urban lifestyle. Located at 8 East 9th Street just south of the Loop business and financial center, Astoria Tower is within walking distance to Grant and Millennium Parks, the Art Institute, Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, and Soldier Field. Buckingham Fountain and the lakefront can be viewed from the Astoria’s east-facing windows.

When complete, Astoria Tower will offer 241 residences, ranging from studios to one-bedroom/one- and 1.5 baths, and two-bedroom/two-baths to two bedrooms/three baths plus den on the penthouse floors. Buyers have a choice of more than a dozen floor plans to suit single professionals or small families. All residences are designed with nine-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows for unobstructed views of the city and the lakefront. Foyers, living and dining rooms, kitchens, and hallways will have polished hardwood flooring, with strain-resistant carpeting in bedrooms and master suites. Kitchens feature 42" cabinetry in a choice of colors, granite counter tops, islands, and all appliances. Master bedroom suites offer separate soaking tubs and glass-enclosed, stand-alone showers and granite-topped vanities. Some plans offer separate dining rooms and walk-in closets. Private terraces with tempered-glass railings grace most units, and some have two terraces. The larger residences feature a wrap-around terrace running alongside several rooms.

Astoria Tower’s tenth floor offers residents a state-of-the-art fitness center and Spa Life Center, equipped with a swimming pool, whirlpool, sauna, exercise and massage rooms, yoga room, and salon. Two sun decks will grace the roof, and a golf simulation room offers year-round recreation. Other amenities include a 24-hour doorman and concierge services, central receiving room and loading dock, conference and business centers, billiards/recreation room, library, private home theater, bike room, and party room. Optional are deeded secure indoor parking slots and additional private storage areas.
