Streeterville's Hottest New Address Is Now Leasing — And a Two-for-One Zoning Win Adds Even More Momentum
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Streeterville ·
Streeterville's most-watched skyscraper just crossed a major threshold. The North Tower at 400 N. Lake Shore Drive — the soaring 72-story, 857-foot residential high-rise with 635 apartments — has officially launched leasing, meaning future residents can now secure their place in one of Chicago's most anticipated new addresses. It's a milestone moment for a building that has been reshaping the neighborhood's lakefront skyline, and a signal that Streeterville's residential boom is moving from construction cranes to move-in ready reality.
And the good news doesn't stop there. Streeterville just racked up a two-for-one zoning win that points to even more neighborhood growth ahead. The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a new retail development at 67 E. Oak Street, where a sleek new two-story commercial space will replace an existing five-story building — bringing fresh street-level energy to the neighborhood's northern edge near the Gold Coast border. Meanwhile, the Zoning Board of Appeals greenlit a residential conversion at 230 E. Ohio Street, where an office building is set to be reimagined into 72 new apartments, adding yet another adaptive reuse success story to Streeterville's growing portfolio.
From a landmark skyscraper opening its doors to a pair of smart, community-shaping zoning approvals, Streeterville is firing on all cylinders this August. Would you put in for a lease at 400 N. Lake Shore Drive, or are you more excited about the fresh retail coming to Oak Street? Tell the Streeterville community what you think in the Socialhood comments!
