Chicago Condo: The Heritage at Millennium Park
Building Address:
130 North Garland, Chicago, IL 60611Set a block off of Chicago's newest outdoor attraction, The Heritage at Millennium Park is a handsome multi-tiered condominium offering homeowners a picturesque downtown location and some of the best conveniences around. More than just another new construction skyscraper, The Heritage lives up to its name with architectural grandeur and state-of-the-art amenities that have made it one of the city's award-winning residential achievements.
The original frontages of three historic buildings were carefully restored and preserved to create the base of The Heritage, further justifying the significance of its title. Rising from the row of beautifully revitalized vintage facades is a soaring glass and stone structure, a dramatic yet seamless transition from classic Chicago architecture to avant-garde design. The building's two conjoined towers are a union of contrast as well—the taller, 57-floor section bows slightly outward while the second tier, half its height, curves inward to create a concave effect.
Not only is The Heritage a noteworthy structure, but its premium spot directly next door to the three-level Chicago Cultural Center guarantees unobstructed views of Millennium Park and Lake Michigan permanently. The Cultural Center is a city treasure with landmark status that protects it from re-development, promising Heritage residents will always enjoy the same amazing vistas. The condominiums occupy floors nine and above for optimal private panoramas and two separate sky deck terraces (on the ninth and 28th levels) boast absolutely picturesque cityscapes.
In warm weather months being so close to acres of outdoor space and fun park events are a welcome plus, but when the winter sets in residents will be grateful for the underground pedestrian walk that connects The Heritage with other buildings in the area. The sheltered pedway links to CTA train stations, shopping corridors, business centers and entertainment venues throughout the downtown Loop. The Heritage's first three floors are also filled with retail, including Ann Taylor Loft, Lane Bryant, and Intelligentsia Coffee (a great spot to get that morning cup of joe).
Speaking of on-site facilities—The Heritage offers a long list of building amenities that satisfy every need. For instance, residents with four-legged family members can take Fido for a walk anytime of day or night at the eighth-floor Dog Run, modeled to resemble an outside setting complete with red fire hydrant and sidewalks. One story up, the natatorium and spa area supplies a beautifully-designed, glass-enclosed sanctuary where residents can relax in the hot tub or swim some laps in the 58-foot-long heated pool. Segregated men's and women's locker rooms are always clean and stocked, and a few minutes in the steam room is sure to melt away the day's tension.
Also on the ninth-floor amenity level is a fully-outfitted exercise room that accommodates every type of fitness regime. Get a balanced workout with a range of stationary bicycles, treadmills, ellipticals and other cardio machines, plus a full set of free weights and additional conditioning equipment. Yoga mats, resistance bands and other core strengthening options round out your physical training alternatives, and the fitness center is open from 5 am to 11 pm everyday to oblige residents' busy schedules.
Regular social gatherings for building occupants are planned for the Hospitality Room and residents are welcome to rent the space for private events as well. In addition to a lounge area and conference table, there's a kitchen, fireplace, TV and restrooms. Unlike most condominiums in the city, The Heritage provides concierge services that assist residents with theater tickets, seats for a sports game and other Chicago events. The concierge is a great source for restaurant recommendations and they will make reservations for you.
Nearly 600 deeded parking spaces are available for building inhabitants in the multi-level garage portion of The Heritage (on floors 3 - 8). Visitors are allowed to park out front for 15-minutes, as long as they notify the front desk, and discounted extended parking is offered at the next door public parking lot for $15 per 24 hours with validation from The Heritage front desk.
The luxury of living at The Heritage at Millennium Park is bolstered (but not defined) by its first-class building amenities, prime park-side location and handy nearby services. However, when it comes to choosing a residence in this upscale urban high-rise, the real high point for Chicago homebuyers is the beautiful layouts, top-of-the-line unit features and fine interior finishes. Condos in The Heritage indulge the senses with bright sun-filled rooms, warmth-providing fireplaces, and refreshing private balconies cooled by pleasant lake breezes. Additional touches, such as polished hardwood floors, high-grade granite kitchen countertops and natural stone bathrooms carry the plush luxuries throughout the units.
With more than two dozen different floor plans, homebuyers have a variety of unit arrangements and sizes to choose from. Prices at The Heritage start around $300,000 for 680-square-foot studios and reach into the millions for the sprawling 5,000+ square-foot penthouses.
