Situated on the border of the Loop and West Loop neighborhoods, R+D659 is a new construction residential condominium designed for the Chicago homebuyer who wants location, value, quality and amenities, all for a great price. The developers of R+D659 had the everyman in mind when they planned this fashionable glass and concrete high-rise on the corner of Randolph and Des Plaines at 659 (hence the Star Wars-esque name). No matter how "space-age" the name sounds, the real estate at R+D659 couldn't be more down to earth...

This ultra-contemporary Chicago residence packs in the conveniences and luxuries, offering homeowners modern comforts and attractive floor plans in a fantastic cosmopolitan setting close to work, nightlife, restaurants, transportation and much more. Just a 10-minute walk to the Loop's financial district and two blocks from delicious Greektown dining, R+D659 is gift-wrapped in community culture. Step out your front door and into the midst of a prosperous Chicago neighborhood that provides a fulfilling everyday lifestyle with loads of local influences.

Local environment is up there on the checklist of important factors for most homeowners, but it's the building and unit features that really seal the deal for R+D659 buyers. With over 20 floor plans to select from (offering one and two bedroom condos, convertible studios, and penthouses), the properties at R+D659 are versatile and varied, ensuring every resident gets exactly what they need in a Chicago home.

Each condo unit at R+D659 presents a private sanctuary of carefully planned conveniences and expertly executed interior finishes. The contemporary layouts (ranging in size from 608 to 2,100 square feet) give residents that sought-after urban appeal, without the "hotspot" real estate prices. Sleek designer touches such as mosaic glass tile backsplashes and solid black granite countertops give the Euro-style kitchens a modish allure; and the beautiful Eucalyptus wood floors add an element of green living, also seen in the condominium's "green roof" initiative.

R+D659 kitchens are also upgraded with 42" Italian cabinetry, heavy-gauge under-mount sinks with Grohe faucets, and high performance stainless steel appliances. Islands with additional lower cabinet storage and extra counter space extend the kitchen's functional value.

But living at R+D659 isn't just about the location and private accommodations. The building amenities provide extra perks potential buyers are sure to love. First of all, the large outdoor pool area and sundeck are the ultimate place to hangout, especially on those hot summer days. Take a dip to cool off, relax in a lounge chair and get some rays, or sit in the shade at one of the umbrella-covered patio tables. Host a poolside BBQ (residents are welcome to use the professional-grade grills) and enjoy the great views from this fourth-floor rooftop terrace.

Also on the amenity level, there's a lounge and entertaining room with a kitchenette and a fitness club where residents can get in the daily workout. The business center serves as a convenient workspace away from the office, and the dog run is especially handy during the winter months when it's negative-degree temps and your pet pooch wants to go out. R+D659 also has secured bike storage and a heated lower level garage with over 180 deeded parking spaces for resident use. And, approximately 12,000 square feet of the building's street-level space is reserved for retail.

R+D659 is a partnership of Brininstool + Lynch architects, Mesirow Financial Real Estate developers and Power Construction. Together the team has created an exceptional Chicago condominium development of the utmost value and comfort for a great price point.
