By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/South Loop ·
South Loop's skyline has a stylish new addition as Straits Row Apartments begins welcoming its first residents this month. Located at 633 S. LaSalle Street in the historic Printer's Row neighborhood, this innovative 18-story development offers 358 private, fully furnished living spaces within 132 traditional and co-living units, creating what developer Nick Melrose calls "a vibrant community that meets the needs of Chicago's diverse workforce and student populations."
The luxury development features an impressive 15,000 square feet of amenities including a lobby-level "Printers Room" coworking space with private study rooms, a printer center, and coffee station with cold brew on tap. On the 17th floor, residents enjoy a lounge with gas fireplace, fitness center, multiple club rooms, and a private dining room. The standout feature is the panoramic pool deck with skyline and lake views, complemented by grilling stations and outdoor dining areas. Building security includes 24/7 lobby attendance and a secure package center.
Strategically positioned near LaSalle and Harrison streets, residents benefit from convenient access to several CTA bus routes, L lines, and multiple Metra commuter rail connections. The location caters particularly well to students from nearby universities including Columbia College Chicago, Roosevelt University, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, DePaul's downtown campus, and the University of Illinois Chicago, while also providing easy commuting options to the Illinois Medical District and RUSH University Medical Center. South Loop neighbors are encouraged to check out the new community, which represents an exciting investment in the continued revitalization of the historic Printer's Row district.
