Chicago-based RMK Management Corp. welcomed the first residents at 73 East Lake, a 42-story apartment building in Chicago’s Loop. This makes the luxury tower, which has leased more than 20 percent of its 332 units, the first new-construction apartment tower to open in 2014.
It is also the first luxury rental development in Chicago by developer M & R Development since it opened Parc Huron in the River North neighborhood in 2010.
“Welcoming the first residents to a building is always one of the most exciting milestones at any development, but it’s especially so in this case as these are also the first move-ins for all of the new-construction luxury towers opening this year,” said Anthony Rossi, Sr., president of Chicago based M & R Development and RMK Management Corp. “There has been – and continues to be – a lot of interest in 73 E Lake, and we’re proud to show it off.”
Designed by architect Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB), 73 East Lake includes 183 indoor parking spaces and 332 units ranging in size from 682 to 1,246 square feet. Plans include convertible/studio-style layouts, one-bedroom/one-bath layouts, and two-bedroom/two-bath layouts.
The apartments offer a high level of interior finishes including GE stainless steel appliances and Venatino Quartz countertops in the kitchen, 9-foot ceilings, hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a full-sized in-unit washer and dryer.
