Chicago-based RMK Management Corp. has announced it is now leasing apartments at Parc Huron, a 221-unit luxury apartment building in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. The 21-story building offers one- to three-bedroom upscale apartment homes, parking and a menu of luxury amenities.
Located at 469 W. Huron Street, the high rise is poised to earn Gold LEED certification from the U.S. Green Buildings Council and features a green roof. Chicago-based Hartshorne + Plunkard served as the architect.
“These upscale apartment homes are designed and finished on par with for-sale condominiums,” said Anthony Rossi, Sr., president of RMK Management Corp.
“In fact, those looking for a new-construction home will find them a great alternative to purchasing a condo.”
One-bedroom homes range in size from 614 to 729 square feet, while one-bedroom-plus-den floor plans range from 780 to 871 square feet. Two-bedroom apartments measure from 1,100 square feet to 1,350 square feet, and three-bedrooms range from 1,375 to 1,443 square feet. Parking for 233 cars will be located on floors two through four. Lease rates currently range from $1,842 to $4,057 a month.
Homes include hardwood flooring, oversized windows, 9½-foot ceilings and high-end finishes, such as granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel backsplashes, stainless-steel G.E. Energy Star kitchen appliances and solar-protecting window shades. All homes also feature in-unit laundry, a built-in workstation, and a private balcony. Additionally, some plans feature walk-in closets; a utility room; and a deluxe master bath with dual-bowl vanities and separate shower and tub. Penthouse level residences feature 10½-foot ceilings.
On-site amenities include a fitness center; spa with an oversized hot tub, steam room and meditation area; media lounge; cyber café with outdoor seating and an indoor/outdoor fireplace; conference rooms; a 12-seat theatre; wine room with individual wine storage available; 24-hour doorman; and a 14,000-square-foot park.
“Parc Huron offers more than just a place to live; it’s for those wanting the ultimate luxury downtown lifestyle,” said Rossi. “Residents can work by the fireplace in the media lounge before heading to the spa area for a soak in the hot tub or to relax in the steam room. Then they can stop by the wine room, which is kept at a consistent 55 degrees, to select a bottle of wine to enjoy on their private balcony while taking in the views of the city. And that’s all without leaving the building.”
The neighborhood surrounding Parc Huron has exploded in popularity in recent years with the construction of many luxury high rises and upscale row homes, Rossi noted. River North is also known for its art galleries, boutiques, restaurants and nightclubs. Residents of Parc Huron will be within walking distance of the Merchandise Mart and the Loop, and less than a block from a city park fronting the Chicago River. The park is host to a seasonal farmers’ market each Sunday morning.
“Parc Huron offers the unbeatable combination of high-end living and a sough-after address. It’s really an ideal place to call home,” said Rossi.
He added that those who lease now have the added advantage of being the first people to live in the units. “Everything is brand new and immaculate,” he said.
Parc Huron is currently about 30 percent leased and began move-ins earlier this month.
