About This Home

Experience breathtaking living from this rarely available 68th-floor residence in the iconic AQUA Tower, designed by world-renowned architect Jeanne Gang and winner of the Emporis Skyscraper Award. This sun-filled 1-bedroom, 1-bath home offers sweeping 180-degree panoramic views of Lake Michigan, Millennium Park, Navy Pier, and the Chicago skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony. The thoughtfully designed interior features high-end finishes throughout, including Snaidero cabinetry with stainless trim, quartz countertops, marble mosaic backsplash, premium stainless steel appliances, and upgraded Calacatta marble surfaces. Additional enhancements include Hansgrohe fixtures, upgraded porcelain tile, solid core doors, generous closet space, and in-unit washer and dryer-blending luxury with everyday functionality. Located in the heart of the highly desirable Lakeshore East neighborhood, everything is just steps away-Mariano's, Millennium Park, the lakefront, the Theatre District, fine dining, shopping, and more. The building also offers direct access to the Chicago Pedway system, providing year-round convenience. AQUA delivers resort-style living with over two full floors of amenities, including indoor and outdoor pools, sundeck with cabanas and hot tubs, state-of-the-art fitness center, Pilates studio, running track, basketball court, steam room, sauna, private theater, business center, demonstration kitchen, and entertainment lounges. A rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional home in one of Chicago's most celebrated architectural landmarks.
