Comprised of seventy-three condominium apartments, the Residences at 330 South Michigan is an impeccably appointed development within the Michigan Avenue street wall, one of the world’s most iconic streetscapes. The Residences features a 24-hour door staff, an elegant period lobby, spacious well-lit hallways, deeded indoor parking, a fitness center, and a quiet, neighborly atmosphere with limited rentals. Apartments feature permanent Lake Michigan and Grant Park views, high ceilings, in-unit washers, dryers, and heating and cooling systems. Residents benefit from state-of-the-art entry and life-safety systems, well-funded reserves, and longtime, stable management.

In keeping with with the McCormick Building’s neoclassical simplicity, the common areas of 330 South Michigan Avenue are furnished with original lithographs by Luigi Rossini (1790–1857), an artist whose work appears in the collections of major museums throughout the world. Selections from his Roman Antiquities series, published in Rome in 1825, may be seen throughout the building.

History

Constructed in two phases between 1908 and 1912 by Robert Hall McCormick, a nephew of Cyrus McCormick, the McCormick Building was designed by Holabird and Roche, one of the founding firms of the First Chicago School, a movement known throughout the world for its pioneering construction of tall commercial buildings. Other Holabird and Roche projects from the early days of skyscraper construction remain as lasting landmarks in Chicago’s Loop: The Palmer House, the City/County Building, the Marquette Building, the Monadnock Building, and the University Club.

In one of the first commercial-to-residential conversions in the Loop, Metropolitan Properties of Chicago, the McCormick Building's owner, engaged Fitzgerald Associates to convert the top six floors of the building into luxury condominiums.

In 1997, the Chicago Sun-Times recognized the project with its "Best Creative Reuse” award for its many thoughtful design innovations. The first residents occupied their new homes in early 2000 at the turn of the millennium and the grand opening of Millennium Park.
